Am unteren Bildrand befindet sich eine lateinische Inschrift die seine wissenschaftliche Arbeit lobt: "Herbarum scribis solerti indagine vires. Nunc est labor est multae cognitionis opus. fabr." Adam Lonicerus "Ist als Sohn des vorstehen Johannes Lonicerus 1528 d. 10. Oktob. in Marburg geboren. schon im 13ten Jahr erlangte er das Bakkalaureat und im 16ten die Magisterwürde. Sein Vater schickte ihn nach Frankfurt a.M. um unter dem Jak. Mycillus sich in der Gelehrsamkeit noch gründlicher zu befestigen. Er überkam hier an der Schule auch selbst ein Lehramt doch verursachten die damaligen Kriegsunruhen dass er nach Verlauf eines Jahres nach Marburg zurückgieng von da aus er mit Casp. Rudolphi die Friedberger Schule in Stand setzen half. Im Jahr 1550 übernahm er das Majorat der Stipendiaten in Marburg. Gleichwie das Studium der Arzneygelahrtheit immer seine Hauptabsicht war so unterzog er sich 1551 in Maynz bey den Kinder des Dr. Osterods einer Informatorsstelle blos von deswegen um von diesem dabey zugleich Nutzen in jener Wissenschaft zu schöpfen. Im Jahr 1553 indessen brachte ihn der Ruf zur Professur der Mathematik wieder nach Marburg. Seine anhaltende Neigung aber für die Arzneygelahrtheit machte dass er 1554 die Doktorwürde in derselben annahm und der Aussicht nach Maynz zu einem öffentlichen Lehramte zu folgen beschloß. Mit Magdalenen der Tochter des Buchdruckers Christian Egenolphs in Frankfurt a.M. hatt er sich im eben dem Jahr verheyratet: der dasige Stadtpysicus Graphius war eben mit Tode abgegangen und nun gediehe es dahin das Lonicer durch das Bemühen seines Schwiegervaters diese Stelle erhielt also in Frankfurt blieb daneben die Korrekturen in der Buchdruckerey desselben besorgte. Egenolph stand sich hierbei so gut dass Lonicer für die Folge einer jeden anderwärtigen Veränderung entsagte also auch in Frankfurt in seinem 58then Jahrsalter am 29 May 1586 sein Leben endigte."

1592réf. 00695A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME ---- 24 p. 4to A-C4 189 x 150 mm ---- First and only edition of this curious digest of time a pamphlet the author composed for his friends as the title indicates. Jordan worked as a cellar keeper Keller in the German village of Steinheim though we find little else about him. ¶ He opens his brief treatise with a philosophical summary of ancient time outlines the traditional ages of the world and offers Galen's six periods of the typical human life. As one might expect Jordan then explores the salient details of the standard solar year—mentioning the new Gregorian calendar—and the typical lunar cycle. But then he ventures much deeper into the weeds of time. He discusses the concept of an annus emergens when time is measured from an extraordinary event e.g. the founding of Rome or the birth of Christ; the lengths of the years for other planets in the known solar system; the lengths of the four seasons each introduced with a line of verse reminiscent of emblem literature; alternative starting points for the year; the twelve signs of the zodiac a chart of where they fall during the year and still more on the zodiac structure; the month's division into weeks and the week into seven days with historical background on the structure of a day plus notes on the etymological roots of each day's name; when different groups start their days e.g. some count from noon others from midnight; and how the day is divided into still smaller segments. The author ends with a brief postscript. "Let those who want read; those who do not let them decline" Legant qui velint: qui non volunt despiciant. ¶ We find a single copy in North America Linda Hall and this the only copy we find in auction records. ---- CONDITION: Sewn but without covers clearly removed from a larger Sammelband. Last leaf is blank. ¶ Small spot of skinned paper adhered to A2v and A3r affecting a couple of words on the former though hardly affecting legibility; a bit dusty at the edges; remnants of adhesive on spine. ---- REFERENCES: USTC 699894; VD16 ZV1333 ¶ J.W.
