1786réf. 378066France 1786. 6pp plus integral blank. Folio. Modern boards. Provenance: Jay Snider booklabel. 6pp plus integral blank. Folio. An unpublished manuscript ode on the wonders of electricity written in 20 stanzas of decasyllabic 10-line units dizains. The author Marc-Antoine Lazare Malot was a lawyer and the King's prosecutor at Avallon in Burgundy and submitted this poem to l'Académie de Marseille on August 25 1786 for which he received a prize. The thirteenth stanza contains lines on Benjamin Franklin: Le Modeste Franklin s'arme contre l'orage Et va chercher la foudre en ses plus noirs foyers ; Il lui prescrit sa route ; et du sein du nuage Sans bruit la fait descendre et mourir à ses pieds. De cette même main qui termina la guerre Qui de la liberté dans un autre hémisphère Sur rappeller défendre et raffermir les droits Il impose silence au maître du tonnerre Il désarme les dieux du ciel et de la terre L'inclémence des airs la vengeance des rois. Roughly translated: The modest Franklin arms himself against the storm And goes to seek the lightning in its darkest lairs; He prescribes its path; and from the heart of the cloud Silently makes it descend and die at his feet. With that same hand that ended the war That in another hemisphere recalled defended And reasserted the rights of liberty He silences the master of the thunder He disarms the gods of sky and earth The inclemency of the skies the vengeance of kings. unknown books

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened. – From the publisher: "This volume explores the tremendous influence of Plato’s Phaedrus on the philosophical religious scientific and literary discussions in the West. Ranging from Plato’s first readers over the Church Fathers and the Platonic commentators to Byzantine and Renaissance thinkers the papers collected here introduce the reader to the first two millennia of the dialogue’s reception history. Thirteen contributions by both junior and established scholars study the engagement with the Phaedrus by such major figures as Aristotle Galen Origen Clemens of Alexandria Plotinus Augustine Proclus Psellus Ficino Erasmus and many others. Together they cover the wide range of topics discussed in the dialogue: the value of myth and allegory religion and theology love and beauty the soul and its immortality teaching and learning metaphysics and epistemology rhetoric and dialectic as well as the role and the limits of writing. By placing the dialogue in this broad perspective the volume will appeal to readers interested in the Phaedrus itself as well as to classicists literary theorists and historians of philosophy science and religion concerned with the dialogue’s reception history and its main protagonists.

Set in an Aldine italic with upright capitals with occasional words mostly names in roman and frequent passages in Greek. First edition to include Muret's important and influential commentaries of the poems of the passionate if self-centred Roman poet Catullus 84-ca. 54 BCE often given the collective title Carmina. Both the poems and the commentaries appear here in the original Latin. Poems 18 and 19 are addressed to the fertility god Pirapus best known for his enormous perpetual erection and poem 20 is also a Priapeia. Many are addressed to "Lesbia" whom Catullus passionately loved. He gave her this pseudonym in allusion to the Greek love poems of Sappho from the Island of Lesbos which influenced him strongly. She is generally identified as Clodia the wife of a Roman nobleman. Catullus was one of her several lovers and he names and rails against some of the others. While Catullus's greatest passions were heterosexual poems 48 50 and 99 express romantic and sexual interests in men. In his poems he is quick to attack others both politically and personally and after he fell out with two male friends he wrote poem 16 threatening to sexually abuse them.The French humanist Marc-Antoine Muret 1526-1585 recognised as a brilliant scholar in his teens taught at Paris from 1551 when he published his first book there. Accused of being a Huguenot and a homosexual he had to flee Paris in late 1553 but Adus Manutius's son Paulus who had taken charge of the family's Venice printing office offered him shelter. The present book was Muret's first publication in Venice.With minor damage to the lower outside corner of the first few leaves not approaching the text but still in very good condition.

1555réf. 000865Dégagnac France Lot. Very Good. 1555. On offer is a fascinating handwritten medieval French manuscript book earliest date 1555 with entries through 1597 in original blindstamped calf with small Fleur-de-lis. This stunning book has approximately 300 pages of handwritten entries being a register of acts properties transactions loans personal notes and journal entries the majority concerning Marc-Antoine Hébrart a noted merchant in the village of Dégagnac in Lot in south-western France. Most certainly Jewish it is evident that the Hebrart family was one of the largest land-holding families in the area. "In 1504 and 1505 the two "headmen" of the village Antoine Hebrart and Pierre Peysson together accounted for 15 percent of the land of the village" Ref: By Le Roy Emmanuel and Ladurie John Day The Peasants of Languedoc . A pencil annotation indicates that Marc Hébrard was of Jewish origin. A fairly cursory examination of the manuscript lends no additional support to this assertion but it is possible given the history of the Jews of neighboring Languedoc and the fact that some Jews remained in France under Christian-like assumed names after their expulsion in 1306. The generic 'Marc-Antoine' is cited as a Jewish name in Sara Uckelman's "Jewish Given Names Found in "Les Noms Des Israélites en France."
