PLINIUS SECUNDUS, C Historiae naturalis liber secundus. Cum Hermolai Barbari Castigationibus, & annotationibus Ioannis Caesarii & Petri Ioannis Olivarii
Paris: Christian Wechel. 1537. Contemporay limp vellum (early repair; a bit warped) 8vo . Very rare edition of the second book of Pliny's Natural History, dealing for the most part with astronomy; e.g. comets, fixed stars, movement of the planets, phases of the moon, latitude and longitude, measuring the earth and so on. The work also includes physical geography and related topics; e.g. the winds, air, tides, earthquakes, climates, etc. Appended are two essays by Hermolaus Barbarus, the younger ("Castigationes Prima" & "Secunda"; Johann Caesarus' "Annotationes"; and Pedro Juan Oliver's "Annotationes."This would have been an student's introductory text to the physical sciences which would probably explain its scarcity with the OCLC only locating a copy at the Bayersiche Staatsbibliothek 154 pp. [3] leaves (all blank except for the last page with the printer's woodcut device). With woodcut printer's device on title and last leaf; woodcut initials; faint dampstain on last few leaves. � DSB, XII, pp. 38-40; Schweiger II, 793; not in Adams or the BM/STC French [Bookseller: Jeffrey D.

Bargagli, Girolamo Dialogo De' Giuochi Che Nelle Vegghie Sanesi Si Usano Di Fare. Del Materiale Intronato

Printer's mark on t.p. decorated initials. Bargagli, Gir˜lamo, 1537-1586, Sienese author who was a member of the 'Accademia degli Intronati' one of the first literary and cultural clubs that were formed in Italy. His play "La pellegrina" was produced in 1589 as part of the very prestigious Florentine wedding festivities.The Sienese evenings 'veglie senesi' were a renowned part of the Intronati ativities "in which cultured word-games were a focus for interchange between men and women. Girolamo Bargagli's dialogue about games, Dialogo de giuochi, and his brother Scipione Bargagli's Traittentimenti, were attempts to set some of these down for posterity." [OCIL] These games called for wit, verbal skill, and variety of response."Girolamo Bargagli wrote in 1572 in Dialogo da Giuochi, a brief passage I saw the game of tarocchi [tarot] played, and each participant was given the name from a card, and the reasons were stated aloud why each participant had been attributed to such a tarocchi card."

Rokeby, John. Autograph letter signed to "my cozen Tunstall," most likely Bishop Cuthbert Tunstall.
1537 - Rokeby, John (d. 1573). Autograph letter signed to "my cozen Tunstall," most likely Bishop Cuthbert Tunstall (1474-1559). 1 - 1/2pp. N.p., n.d. 223 x 184 mm. Fine apart from light soiling.From ecclesiastical lawyer John Rokeby, who acted as one of Henry VIII's counsel in his divorce from Katharine of Aragon and later served as a member of the Council of the North, a regional administrative body originally established by Richard III and later reinstated by Henry VIII in 1530 as a means of exerting control over England's pro-Catholic northern counties. His correspondent was most likely Bishop Cuthbert Tunstall, who served as president of the Council in 1530 and 1537; Tunstall is best known today as the author of De arte supputandi libri quattuor (1522), the first book published in England devoted exclusively to mathematics. In his letter Rokeby asks Tunstall for a "contribution to enable me to go through with my presant Undertaking . . . I began this Method last yeare but was check'd by ill health & want of the proper Instrument Lond. being too expensive for me & some necessary Cloaths awanting however am now determin'd to goe by sea as soon as possablely I can . . ." Rokeby and Tunstall may have been related, as they were both from the same part of England and Rokeby addressed Tunstall as "cozen."

Binding tight and firm. A good copy, complete except for final leaf as noted). Giovanni Villani (c. 1276 or 1280�1348) was a statesman and a banker of Florence. He began his famous history of Florence around 1300 and was still writing it when he died of the plague in 1348. It is divided into 10 books beginning with the Tower of Babel and reaching the year 1200 AD by leaf 38 and 1333 by the end of the end of the 10th book which is all that was printed in this first edition. The Croniche was continued by Villani's brother Matteo and then by his nephew Filippo ending the narration in 1364. Villani's Croniche was considered an important work at the time and today his interest in economic details, statistical information, and his political and psychological insights mark him out as one of earliest modern historians. He follows a strictly linear narrative format providing intricate details on many important historical events, such as construction projects, floods, fires, famines, and plagues of the city of Florence and the wider region of Tuscany. The Croniche provides the first known biography of Dante Alighieri (1265�1321), author of the Divine Comedy, whom Villani described as haughty, disdainful, and reserved. The celebrated artist Giotto is described as the most sovereign master of painting in his time. Brunet, Volume V, 1225; Harvard, Italian 16th Century Books, Volume II, No. 540.

His work was deeply influential and his services were retained by the kings of France and Spain, as well as by several Italian princes. As one would expect, there was a large market for his works. In addition to those published by Alciati there are several unauthorized publications based on lecture notes compiled by his students. First published in Cologne in 1530, Iudiciarii Processus Compendium, a treatise on procedure in civil and canon law, appears to fall into this latter category. Some sources say it is not based on Alciati's work and is the work of an anonymous author. It was nevertheless a popular work that went through several editions and issues over the next 30 years.

Duran, Diego (c1537!1588) Historia de las Indias de Nueva Espana e Islas de Tierra Firme
3 volumes: xvi+535 pages; 305+[1]-177 pages with Explination of the Codice Geroglifico of Mr Aubin by Alfred Chavero; 65 full-page engravings drawn from the Duran and Aubin manuscript, collates [1-32]+[1-10]+[1a]+[11a]+[2a-6a]+Aubin Codex [1a-16a]. Large Quarto (11 3/4" x 8 3/4") bound in original 3/4 leather with marbled boards. Introduction and atlas by Jose F Ramirez. From the library of George M Foster. 1st edition.Diego Dur�n (c. 1537–1588) was a Dominican friar best known for his authorship of one of the earliest Western books on the history and culture of the Aztecs, The History of the Indies of New Spain, a book that was much criticized in his lifetime for helping the "heathen" maintain their culture. Dur�n was born sometime around 1537 in Spain. His family traveled to Mexico when he was very young -- he said later that “although I did not acquire my milk teeth in Texcoco, I got my second ones there.” (History Ch. I), It was in Texcoco where he learned Nahuatl. His family was not extravagantly wealthy, and they did not own an encomienda, but his relatives were fairly well off slave-owners. When he was still young, his family moved to Mexico City where he attended school and was exposed to Aztec culture under the colonial rule of Spain, as well as the many Africans brought by the Spanish for slavery. According to Heyden, Dur�n was often puzzled by the mix of races and cultures and their significance for social class (Heyden xxv-xxvi). In 1556 he entered the Dominican convento, or monastery, and was sent to Oaxaca in 1561 after being trained in Mexico City. He resided for a time at a convento in Oaxtepec, and there he found many informants within the Church. He is believed to have been tutored by Fray Francisco de Aguilar, who had been a soldier involved in the siege of Tenochtitlan. De Aguilar later joined the Dominican order, and had much to tell Dur�n about the Aztecs at first contact. He was cited frequently by Dur�n in his History. Dur�n later became a vicar at a convento in Hueyapan and it was there that he learned the most from the native Nahuatl Aztecs. The conventos had been issued a decree by Charles V to preach the Christian word to native rural villages and Dur�n ventured into the villages frequently to converse with the natives there. The clergy were to also observe native customs and to search for ancient documents. particularly the lost Holy Scriptures of Saint Thomas (who was believed to have been the basis for the Aztecs' Quetzalcoatl. (Heyden xxvi-xxvii). He developed a close association with the people he was attempting to convert, which led him to criticize the clerics and conquistadors who never learned the natives’ language, writing “they should know the language well and understand [the people] if they have any pretense of obtaining fruit.. And the ministers should not acquiesce by saying they know a little bit of the tongue in order to heard confession and that is enough” (Book of the Gods and Rites) and scorns the Spaniards crude use of the language that made the natives laugh and scoff at them. Dur�n was torn between two worlds, that of his people, and that of the Aztec. On one hand, he respected them greatly and their government organization before conquest, and he grew to admire the people of Mexico, and often said so. On the other hand he was repulsed by certain acts of his native informants, particularly human sacrifice. It was, after all, his duty to evangelize them and his Catholic background gave him a great disdain for such things. Another of his duties was to document the cultural ways and practices of the native people to serve as a manual to other monks in their attempt to evangelize the so-called heathens. Although his purpose was to detail the “heathen practices” as a manual for other missionaries, he also wanted to make it pleasant to read and useful to others. In 1585 Diego Dur�n returned to Mexico City in ill health and worked in the convento there, Santo Domingo, as a translator from Nahuatl to Spanish for the Inquisition. He died in 1588 of an unknown illness (Heyden, xxix). The History of the Indies of New Spain, sometimes referred to as the Dur�n Codex, contains seventy-eight chapters spanning from the Aztec creation story until after Spanish conquest of Mexico, and includes a chronology of Aztec kings. The Dur�n Codex was unpublished until the 19th century, when it was found in the Library of Madrid by Jos� Fernando Ram�rez. Dur�n's work has become invaluable to archaeologists and others studying Mesoamerica. Although there are few surviving Aztec codices written before the Spanish conquest, the more numerous post-conquest codices and near-contemporary works such as Dur�n's are invaluable secondary sources for the interpretation of archaeological theories and evidence.George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications, his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics, including acculturation, long-term fieldwork, peasant economies, pottery making, public health, social structure, symbolic systems, technological change, theories of illness and wellness, humoral medicine in Latin America, and worldview. The quantity, quality, and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of his major publications have been reprinted and/or translated. Provenance from the executor of Foster's library laid in. Condition:Foster's date of acquiry (8/2/44) on volume 1 front paste down (no Foster stamp), marbled boards rubbed through. The Atlas volume which has become quite scarce because of a flooded basement of the printer wholly destroyed many copies and others were made up of the remaining, often with damaged leaves. This copy of the Atlas has some staining to the following plates: 4-8, 10, 15-17, 20, 22, 23 and 5a. Plates appendix 1a-16a refer to the Aubin codex. A good to very good set, internally very good.

Stephani. , 1537 - folding table outside pagination, ruled in red throughout, a few early manuscript notes including annotations to the contents list, corners dampmarked, small repaired tear to gutter of one leaf, title dusty, a little soiling elsewhere, ownership stamp of ‘Michiels 1775’ to title, pp. 213, [3], 4to., modern chocolate calf, boards with a double blind fillet border, plain backstrip with five raised bands, edges sometime gilt, a bit scratched, booklabel of Elizabeth Armstrong and her(?) pencilled purchase note to front pastedown (Sokol, 1986, �380), good King Francis I’s uneasy relationship with Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, led France into open war no fewer than four times during his reign. The third such conflict, from 1537 to 1538, was ostensibly sparked by Charles’s appointing of a Duke of Milan against Francis’s claim to that power, although Francis had also heightened the tension by signing a treaty with the Turkish Sultan in 1536. In a publically circulated letter to Francis, Charles placed the blame for the conflict at his feet. This volume formed Francis’s official reply, comprising new and earlier letters defending his actions. Guillaume du Bellay was involved with putting the text together, and it was printed and distributed by Robert Estienne senior. The King demonstrated his approval of Estienne’s work with an appointment as the King’s Printer of Hebrew and Latin in 1539. This copy was most likely purchased by the scholar Elizabeth Armstrong in 1986, the same year as the publication of the second edition of her biography of Robert Estienne.

SPERONI DEGLI ALGAROTTI (Sperone). Important for the development of French poetry in the 16th century and the promotion of the use of the vernacular languages, Dialoghi del sig. Speron Speroni nobile Padovano, di nuovo ricorretti; a quali sono aggiunti molti altri non pi� stampati. E. di pi� l'Apologia de i primi.
Roberto Meietti, A7PA5UZ5160D, Venice, - 4to. Contemporary red morocco, spine with gilt rulling, covers with gilt fillets and gilt oval central piece decorated with floral ornaments, 4 gilt floral cornerpieces. Woodcut printer's device on title. (8), 596 (=604), (2 errata) pp. The 'most complete edition of the dialogues' by the humanist scholar and dramatist Speroni. (Brunet V, 488). These 17 humanist dialogues treat various subjects; love, the dignity of women, family life, language, rhetorics, active and contemplative life, history, etc. of which the 'Dialogo delle lingue' is the most important.Together with some other texts which were published in Italy during the 16th century, the dialogues of Speroni were of great influence for the upcoming French poetical circle around Ronsard. In his work dedicated to the Italian sources of the work ''D�fense et illustration de langue fran�aise'' by Joachim Du Bellay, Pierre Villey proved that the rise of poetry in French is largely to be contributed to the 'Dialogue des langues', which defends the vernacular languages against Latin.The collection is divided in 3 parts. The first two parts consist of dialogues: i.a. Dialogo d'amore (written in 1537 and published in 1542), on the nature of love, Dialogo delle dignit� delle donne, on the status of women, Dialogo delle lingue, a defense of vernacular languages instead of Latin, Dialogo della retorica, Dialogo della istoria, 2 dialogues on history, etc. The third part contains Apologia.The Aldus printing company published this collection for the first time in 1542 and reprinted them five times. Another Venetian edition exists, printed by Giolito in 1558, but the present one is according to Brunet the most complete.Sperone Speroni degli Alvarotti (1500-1588), was born in Padua and studied under Pomponazzi in Bologna. Subsequently he taught Logic, and philosophy in Padua, then he returns to Bologna where he is appointed to lecture at the court. In 1560 he is sent to Rome by the Duke of Urbino, where he is highly esteemed by colleague scholars and dignitaries. Very fine copy in a beautiful contemporary binding, with bookplate of A. Kuhnholtz pasted on inside frontcover.- (Numerous misnumbering of pages but quires and text are complete, only quires Sss & Ttt bound in reverse; some minor soiling).

Early owner signature to foot of title page, annotation in his hand to endleaves, interior otherwise clean. * An important Italian humanist and professor of law at Avignon, Bologna, Milan, Padua, Ferrara and Bourges, he was one of the first jurists to base his interpretation of civil law on the history, languages and literature of antiquity, and to conduct original research on the texts rather than merely copy earlier glosses. His work was deeply influential and his services were retained by the kings of France and Spain, as well as by several Italian princes. As one would expect, there was a large market for his works. In addition to those published by Alciati there are several unauthorized publications based on lecture notes compiled by his students. First published in Cologne in 1530, Iudiciarii Processus Compendium, a treatise on procedure in civil and canon law, appears to fall into this latter category. Some sources say it is not based on Alciati's work and is the work of an anonymous author. It was neveretheless a popular work that went through several editions and issues over the next 30 years.

BETULIUS, XYSTUS (SIXT BIRCK el. BIRCKUS). Susanna. Comoedia tragica.
- Augsburg, Philippus Ulhardus, 1537. Small 8vo. Unbound, with the original cordes. First two quires loose (in their entirety). Faint dampstaining throughout. A nice copy. Large woodcut vignette (the German double-eagle) to title-page. (46 ff. + final blank). Exceedingly scarce first Latin edition (being the first edition thus) of Sixt Birck's important and greatly influential political and religious Reformation drama, his highly interesting and original version of the Susanna legend.When living in Basel and working as a rector there (1530-34), the German dramatis and later Augsburg-rector Sixt Birck, or Xystus Betelius, (1501-1554) had been asked by the town council to write a religious play. Protestant town councils of the period took an especially active role in determining the theatrical repertory of their cities, so that the local stage at times became an extension of council policy. This did not please Birck, who had wanted to write a political play, but nonetheless he composed the first version of his first play, the famous "Susanna" (a later so frequently used theme of Reformation plays - with no less than 16 dramatizations in Germany alone from 1490 till 1627), which thus appeared in German in 1532. However, after having moved back to his home town Augsburg in 1534, he began writing his Latin-language version "Susanna", which appeared in 1537. In this, perhaps the most important edition of the work, Birck chastised the council for having required of him a religious drama instead of the political play that he would have preferred. The Latin version had thus become a much more politically oriented work, and the main goals of this Latin play seem to have been 1) to politically educate the audience, 2) to combine religion and politics in a sensible way, 3) to erect a model for how a Protestant republic should be governed, and finally 4) to create a genre of dramas to be played by school students. This Latin version is often considered a work in its own, as it differs so much in content from the German version.Unlike the German version of the play, the Latin version was written for Birck's students in Augsburg. And as such, "Susanna" in Latin, printed in 1537 is considered the first play within the tradition of the German "shool dramas", and Birck is considered the father of this tradition, which later established itself as a distinct branch within the "Jesuit theatre".Apart from this stylistic fact, the play sets out to create a model for the government of a Protestant republic, and with this aim in mind, Birck puts an entirely new focus on the Susanna-figure, which is very different from the classical account of her. Instead of focusing on Susanna'a chastity, Birck focuses on how her case was handled by the local magistrates and council, and at the same time he dramatically recreates the contemporary legal procedures. Completely untraditionally, he portrays Sussana's absolute faith in the law and her right to appeal, which guarantees that she will be given a fair trial. At the end, though, the drama changes from a mainly political point of view to a strictly religious one. "The "Susanna" of Sixt Birck or Xystus Betulius is chiefly remarkable for the extreme elaboration of its picture of the trial of the heroine, in which the respectable members of the court, who are extremely numerous, distinguish themselves by giving their judgment dead against Susanna, in great individual detail." (Saintsbury George, The Earlier Renaissance, p. 341)."The paradox in Protestant thought between man's fallen nature and his educability was more apparent in Sixt Birck's two Susanna plays (German, 1532; Latin, 1537). In these works, the theological significance of Birck's religious plot contradicted the sociopolitical lessons he had incorporated into his plays. The discrepancy was especially evident in the Latin drama where Birck developed his ideas about sociopolitical function of theater" (Parente, Religious Drama and the Humanist Tradition, [Attributes: First Edition] [Bookseller: Lynge & S�n ILAB-LILA]

[Euclid] Euclidis Megarensis Mathematici Clarissimi Elementorum Geometricorum Lib XV!
Basil: : Apud Johannem Hervagium, Mense Augusto Augusto, , 1537. . Full Vellum. Very Good. Folio (29.8 x 20.1 cm). Period vellum with title in ink. [8] 1!587 [1] p. + Ornamental capitals and diagrams in text. Latin text with Greek letters used for designating points on geometric diagrams. Preface present. Repairs to paper of several pages. Original free end papers replaced by early 18th century paper having armoral watermark (front) common to paper from The Hague or Leiden. Minor damp staining on head and tail of several signatures not affecting text. This is the first Latin edition of the Herwagen Euclid with the very scarce preface of Philip Melanchthon, and first appearance of the fragment with four theorems by Levi. Censors often removed the preface from many copies. It is rare to find this preface present. Provenance: Signature of Longomontanus written on the title page to the left of publisher and date of publication: !Ex lib. Christian S. Longomans.! Christian Severin known as Longomontanus (1562!1647) was a Danish astronomer and pupil of Tycho Brahe and succeeded him in 1601 as professor of astronomy. His major work was Astronomia Dania. The ink marginala in Latin on the first two pages of the preface and Greek on p. 6 at the end of Euclid!s definitions from Campanus appear to be Severin!s. Armorial bookplate of Sir Alexander Campbell of Cesnok (2nd Earl of Marchmont and Lord Polwarth) on front pastedown. He was one of the !Senators of the College of Justice and one of the Lords of Her Majesties most Honorable Privy Counsell & Exchequer &C: 1707.! Lord Polwarth was a member of the Scottish Parliament for Berwickshire, an advocate of the union with England (and thus the inclusion of 1707 on the amoral book plate), Lord Clerk Register, and envoy to Denmark (from 1716!1733). It was probably during his visit to Denmark as envoy that Sir Alexander Campbell purchased or received Severin!s copy of Euclid!s Elements.

Basel, Johannes Hervagius 1537. Folio. [VIII],587p. With printer's mark on title and on verso of last leaf, and numerous woodcut initials and figures in the text. Old limp vellum, a few imperfections. Title slightly frayed at margins, scattered scribbling in an old hand. A bright and clean copy with ample margins. Bookplate of the Bibliotheca Venerab: Conventus Viennensis in Rossaugia Ord. Servorum B.M.V.Euclid's Elements of geometry is a compilation of all Greek mathematical knowledge since Pythagoras and has been used as a textbook for centuries. It was the first mathematical book of any importance to be printed and the first book using diagrams. Euclid's work is divided into 13 books in which he treats plane geometry, the theory of proportion, the properties of numbers, irrational quantities, and solid geometry. Two more books were added by other authors. Our edition has appended some of Euclid's other works: the Phaenomena (astronomy), Specularia (catoptrics, of which Euclid's authorship has been doubted), Perspectiva (optics), and Data. This copy complete with the preface by Philip Melanchthon dated 1537, present in part of the remaining copies only. The Elements were printed for the first time in Venice in 1482 by Erhard Ratdolt, in a Latin translation by Johannes Campanus of Novara, from an Arabic manuscript. In 1505 a translation from the original Greek (the edition princeps did not appear before 1533) was done by the Venetian Bartolommeo Zamberti. The present edition largely follows the text of the edition brought out in Paris in 1516 giving both the translations by Campanus and by Zamberti in conjunction. It has Euclid's enunciations headed Eucli. ex Camp., followed in a smaller type by the proof headed Campanus and by text found in Campanus' translation but not in the Greek text with the heading Campani additio. Next follow the enunciations according to Zamberti's translation from the Greek headed Eucli. ex Zamb., then again in a smaller type the proof headed Theon ex Zamb. The present edition is augmented with Euclid's other works as quoted. The figures are printed within the text, whereas other editions have the figures printed in the margins. P.M.M. 25.

PLINIUS SECUNDUS, C Historiae naturalis liber secundus. Cum Hermolai Barbari Castigationibus, & annotationibus Ioannis Caesarii & Petri Ioannis Olivarii
Christian Wechel, Paris 1537 - Contemporay limp vellum (early repair; a bit warped) 8vo . Very rare edition of the second book of Pliny's Natural History, dealing for the most part with astronomy; e.g. comets, fixed stars, movement of the planets, phases of the moon, latitude and longitude, measuring the earth and so on. The work also includes physical geography and related topics; e.g. the winds, air, tides, earthquakes, climates, etc. Appended are two essays by Hermolaus Barbarus, the younger ("Castigationes Prima" & "Secunda"; Johann Caesarus' "Annotationes"; and Pedro Juan Oliver's "Annotationes." This would have been an student's introductory text to the physical sciences which would probably explain its scarcity with the OCLC only locating a copy at the Bayersiche Staatsbibliothek 154 pp. [3] leaves (all blank except for the last page with the printer's woodcut device). With woodcut printer's device on title and last leaf; woodcut initials; faint dampstain on last few leaves. � DSB, XII, pp. 38-40; Schweiger II, 793; not in Adams or the BM/STC French.

Basel, Johannes Hervagius 1537. Folio. [VIII],587p. With printer's mark on title and on verso of last leaf, and numerous woodcut initials and figures in the text. Old limp vellum, a few imperfections. Title slightly frayed at margins, scattered scribbling in an old hand. A bright and clean copy with ample margins. Bookplate of the Bibliotheca Venerab: Conventus Viennensis in Rossaugia Ord. Servorum B.M.V.Euclid's Elements of geometry is a compilation of all Greek mathematical knowledge since Pythagoras and has been used as a textbook for centuries. It was the first mathematical book of any importance to be printed and the first book using diagrams. Euclid's work is divided into 13 books in which he treats plane geometry, the theory of proportion, the properties of numbers, irrational quantities, and solid geometry. Two more books were added by other authors. Our edition has appended some of Euclid's other works: the Phaenomena (astronomy), Specularia (catoptrics, of which Euclid's authorship has been doubted), Perspectiva (optics), and Data. This copy complete with the preface by Philip Melanchthon dated 1537, present in part of the remaining copies only. The Elements were printed for the first time in Venice in 1482 by Erhard Ratdolt, in a Latin translation by Johannes Campanus of Novara, from an Arabic manuscript. In 1505 a translation from the original Greek (the edition princeps did not appear before 1533) was done by the Venetian Bartolommeo Zamberti. The present edition largely follows the text of the edition brought out in Paris in 1516 giving both the translations by Campanus and by Zamberti in conjunction. It has Euclid's enunciations headed Eucli. ex Camp., followed in a smaller type by the proof headed Campanus and by text found in Campanus' translation but not in the Greek text with the heading Campani additio. Next follow the enunciations according to Zamberti's translation from the Greek headed Eucli. ex Zamb., then again in a smaller type the proof headed Theon ex Zamb. The present edition is augmented with Euclid's other works as quoted. The figures are printed within the text, whereas other editions have the figures printed in the margins. P.M.M. 25.

DIOSCORIDE; De medica materia libri sex.
Paris Simon de Colines 1537 - In-8 de 20 ff.n.ch., 266 pp.ch. (mal ch. 246) et 20 ff.n.ch. ; basane tachet�e, dos � n. orn�, tranches rouges (reliure ancienne). Pritzel, 2306 ; Renouard, p. 77 (collation diff�rente) ; Schreiber, 148 ; NLM., 1146 ; manque au Wellcome. Edition importante, donn�e par Dionisius Corronius et d�di�e au Cardinal de Tournon. Le texte est pr�sent� dans la traduction du m�decin fran�ais Jean Ruel, en latin Ruellius (Soissons, 1474 - Paris, 1537). Doyen de la facult� de m�decine en 1508, passionn� de botanique, Ruel �tait l'un des m�decins pr�f�r�s de Fran�ois Ier. A la fin de sa vie, il se d�mit de toutes ses charges, entra dans les ordres et devint chanoine de Notre-Dame de Paris. Il a compos� un De natura stirpium, r�pertoire de toutes les connaissances botaniques de son temps, dans lequel il donne les premi�res descriptions de l'estragon et du ma�s. M�decin grec d'Asie Mineure (Ier si�cle avant J.-C.), Dioscoride d'Anazarbe est le plus grand pharmacologue de l'Antiquit�. Son De materia medica, �crit vers l'an 64, est le fruit du travail de toute une vie. Dioscoride y "recense des centaines de plantes dont il indique la technique de r�colte, de conservation et leurs caract�ristiques et propri�t�s pharmacologiques. Les plantes y sont rang�es selon leurs affinit�s th�rapeutiques, contrairement � la plupart des herbiers ant�rieurs, class�s par ordre alphab�tique. Son exposition structur�e et l'observation minutieuse, combin�e au rejet des all�gations superstitieuses assurent son succ�s. D�sormais, des sp�cialistes vont pr�parer les m�dicaments selon ses donn�es, son influence durant jusqu'� nos jours" (Dict. hist. des m�decins"). Petit manque de cuir au dos.
