Small stains on lsv. 2-4 and B8. A wildly successful collection of medieval travelers' tales to the Holy Land China India and other exotic lands both real Ethiopia and imagined the land of the Amazons embellished with accounts of strange peoples and fantastic animals all narrated by a certain John Mandeville based so he claims on his own experiences and offered as a guide for would-be travelers. "The actual author of the tales remains as uncertain as the existence of the English knight Sir John Mandeville himself. The book originated in French about 1356-57 and was soon translated into many languages an English version appearing about 1375. The narrator Mandeville identifies himself as a knight of St. Albans. Incapacitated by arthritic gout he has undertaken to stave off boredom by writing of his travels which began on Michaelmas Day September 29 1322 and from which he returned in 1356."EB "The book was a contemporary bestseller providing readers with exotic information about locales from Constantinople to China and about the social and religious practices of peoples such as the Greeks Muslims and Brahmins. The book first appeared in the middle of the fourteenth century and by the next century could be found in an extraordinary range of European languages. Its wide readership is also attested by the two hundred and fifty to three hundred medieval manuscripts that still survive today. One scholar even insists that "few literate men in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries could have avoided coming across the Travels at some time." Among others Chaucer borrowed from it; Christopher Columbus apparently consulted the work as did Sir Walter Ralegh. "The sources that lie behind the work are so many and varied that a better alternative title for the work than 'Mandeville's Travels' might have been 'Mandeville's Library'. The two most important works behind the book were written in the 1330s by authentic clerical travelers. The primary source for the first part of the Book travel to and around Jerusalem is the Liber de Quibusdam Ultramarinis Partibus a.k.a. the Itinerarius by the German Dominican William of Boldensele whereas that for the second part travel farther east is Friar Odoric of Pordenone's Itinerarius which tells of the Franciscan's missionary experiences in China and India. Portions of many other works also apparently known to the Mandeville-author primarily in French translation were also used to make up the Book: these include some of the most learned and influential reference works of the Middle Ages such as Vincent de Beauvais' Speculum Historiale and Speculum Naturale and Brunetto Latini's Li Livres dou Tresors as well as older authorities such as Macrobius and Isidore of Seville. Scholars have also identified material taken from other travel books and from writings as varied as saints' lives Jacobus of Voragine's Legenda Aurea historical romances those about Alexander and at least one scientific work John of Sacrobosco's De Sphaera. The author's skill as a compiler is revealed in the deftness with which he melds these various sources into a convincing whole principally by means of the voice and personality of his narrator: the alert energetic and always eager to instruct Sir John Mandeville. "The Book begins with a preface that seems to present the work as a guide for pilgrims to Jerusalem a well-known medieval genre. Sir John announces that in addition to the Holy Land he has journeyed to stranger non-biblical lands including Ethiopia and India and promises to tell of "many diverse folk of manners and diverse laws and shapes". The Book proper opens with a description of Constantinople and the routes by which to go there. Dramatic contrasts in subject matter such as the description of St. John the Evangelist's tomb at Ephesus followed by a story of a woman changed into a dragon who can return to human shape only with a knight's kiss enliven the Book. "Sir John then gives various routes to Jerusalem and outlines the sights along their ways. After a large section about Egypt the works tells about the Holy Land itself. Important surrounding sites are recorded such as Bethlehem but it is Jerusalem that is described in most detail especially those places associated with major Jewish figures such as David and with the life and death of Christ. At times the account reads very much like a guide for travelers: we are told of the spatial relationship of one building to another and specific points of their individual architecture. Sir John emphasizes that Jerusalem is now controlled by Muslims and he records a long conversation that he had with their Sultan who details the many moral failings of contemporary Christians that have caused God to deprive them of the Holy Land. "Although Jerusalem may be at the center of the world and the ultimate aim of religious pilgrims it cannot hold such an insatiable traveler as Sir John. He is soon away to more remote and exotic climes and cultures. After passing through Armenia he continues further east through the land of Job the country of the Amazons and Ethiopia some of whose people have only one foot which in addition to propelling them quickly serves to shade their bodies from the sun. Sir John eventually reaches the lands around India with their various and exotic religions - some worship snakes lines 1586-87 and others allow themselves to be crushed under the wheels of a chariot bearing their idol lines 1655-59. After a discussion of the roundness of the world lines 1687-1778 and mention of additional marvels such as men and women with heads like dogs lines 1854-68 or others with both male and female genitals lines 1892-95 Sir John arrives in China and describes the almost unimaginable wealth luxury and pomp at the court of the Great Khan with a full account of the realm's particular laws and customs lines 1968-2017 2100 ff. As he continues on Sir John encounters additional strange beings and practices and after a warning about the dangers that Jews will pose at the time of the Antichrist lines 2366-82 he describes Prester John an emperor and a priest who though allied with the Khan is a Christian but not a Catholic lines 2392 ff. Near the end of his Book Sir John describes a kind of ideal society: that of the Brahmins and Synoplians who even though they lack Christian revelation follow its essential precepts by natural law and whose faith simple life and love and charity toward one another make them beloved of God lines 2573-2637. After observing gold-digging ants in Ceylon passing by but not being able to visit the Earthly Paradise lines 2681-2706 and describing the Tibetan practice by which a son honors his dead father by offering his body to birds and the flesh of his head to special friends lines 2763-83 Sir John having circumnavigated the earth returns home to England to rest in his old age. "Debate about the identity of the author also continues. Some popular English opinion still holds out for Sir John Mandeville - there is a plaque in his honor in St. Albans Cathedral and a Fleet Street veteran has recently taken up his cause - but scholars have also suggested other candidates including Jean d'Outremeuse a notary of Liège and Brother Jean de Long of the Benedictine Abbey Church of St. Bertin. It seems unlikely that we shall ever be certain about the authorship of the Book. Indeed applying the term author to this work is imprecise and somewhat misleading. Obviously someone first assembled the materials we know as The Book of John Mandeville but as has been noted he borrowed rather than created most of those contents. Rather than a wholly original author Mandeville is best considered a compiler one who collects and rearranges the writings of others into a new form. Just as whoever first put together the Book combined and rewrote previous texts the work he produced proved equally malleable for it was itself in turn adapted abridged and supplemented by later redactors in a variety of ways including but not limited to the kinds of alterations to the narrative voice we have already discussed. What we call the Book resists precise definition because it differs from version to version as well as from text to text within a particular version. The Book of John Mandeville refers less to a single stable entity than to what Iain Higgins in the most illuminating current study of the work has called a "multi-text." The original composition of the Book did not fix the work because it was so quickly and variously transformed by those who received it."

1723rif. 2353259London: Printed for Edmund Parker at the Bible and Crown in Lombard-Street 1723. Second Edition. Full-Leather. Fair/No Jacket. Signed by author. Second edition. Lacks front board and spine label some loss along edges of rear board and spine leather dry and rubbed title page loose with some loss along edges. 1723 Full-Leather. vi 428 11 pp. Full calf with hand-tooled design five raised spine bands. A collection of essays including discussion of the origin of moral virtue the nature of charity and society etc. The work comprises a satirical poem entitled The Grumbling Hive: or Knaves turn'd Honest which was first published anonymously in 1705; a prose discussion of the poem called 'Remarks'; and an essay An Enquiry into the Origin of Moral Virtue. In 1723 a second edition the one offered here was published with two new essays 'An Essay on Charity and Charity-Schools' and 'A Search into the Nature of Society'. In the original portion of the work Mandeville controversially asserts that self-interest is the lynchpin of a properly functioning society and that practicing honesty and virtue while objectively desirable in practice leads to negative outcomes. His theories influenced Scottish Enlightenment thinkers like Francis Hutcheson David Hume and Adam Smith as well as economic constructs like the division of labor laissez-faire capitalism etc. Mandeville also wrote A Treatise of the Hypochondriack and Hysterick Passions which Garrison-Morton 10703 describes as: "Probably the first psychiatric self-help book. Hunter and Macalpine call Mandeville's work 'the first book on minor mental maladies 'writ by way of Information to Patients' rather than 'to teach other Practitioners'. Mandeville gave a graphic account of his own attack of melancholy when he developed the delusion that he had syphilis' Hunter & Macalpine p. 296.

1729rif. 2329103London: Jonh Brotherton at the Bible in Cornhill 1729. Second Edition. Full-Leather. Very Good/No Jacket. Second edition ESTC T106235. Both joints beginning to split front more so than rear with minor loss from spine head and foot quarter-sized spot on rear board which appears to be some sort of clear lacquer. Text clean and unmarked binding tight and holding firmly. 1729 Full-Leather. xiv 2 409 1 xxii 4 pp. Full calf four raised spine bands speckled edges blind stamped rules and inner board decoration. This second edition published nine years after the first includes substantial additions and corrections and is about twenty-five percent longer than the original. It was influential particularly in Germany where it was printed in several editions. Routledge in reference to a recent scholarly reissue of the text states "Bernard Mandeville was best known for The Fable of the Bees in which he demolishes the supposed moral basis of society by a Hobbesian demonstration that civilization depends on vice. Today Mandeville is seen as a trenchant satirist of the manners and foibles of his age. He is also seen as a precursor of some of Adam Smith's doctrines a forerunner in the field of sociology. A prescient analyst of the dynamics of our modern consumer society Mandeville is author of a striking naturalistic account of the gradual evolution of modern society from its primitive antecedents. His literary signature in a manner of speaking is his famous paradox 'private vices public benefits.' To understand Mandeville's Free Thoughts one needs to situate it within the context of the religious and political controversies ongoing subversion fear and dormant warfare of his times. Those would eventually erupt again and for the last time in the bloody Jacobite rebellion of 1745-46. The first five chapters of the book explore religious and theological issues including the nature of belief and knowledge the significance of rites and ceremonies and controversies about Christian mysteries such as the Trinity and free will and predestination. The next five chapters explore controversial issues of church politics including persecution and toleration across the centuries the basis of Mandeville's anticlericalism. In the eleventh chapter he turns aside from matters of religion to review the balance of powers in Britain's government a mixed or limited monarchy. The final chapter is essentially a repetition of Mandeville's pleas for civil and religious peace through mutual toleration by opposing religious parties. Mandeville's work is of continuing interest to students of culture and history religion and theology and political science. Jonh Brotherton, at the Bible in Cornhill hardcover books
