Leonhart Fuchs
Eupatorium
|
Basel 1542 - Herbals are books containing the names and descriptions of plants and their medicinal properties. The herbal had declined during the Middle Ages, western European herbals of that era were based on the works of classical authors, in particular Pedanios Dioscorides, the ancient Greek writer who was the father of medical botany. This would change with the publication of Leonhart Fuchs? illustrated herbal De historia stirpium commentarii insigne. The plan and organization of the herbal was entirely original with Fuchs, although the work did include some material derived from his Classical predecessors. Fuchs? De historia stirpium represented an impressive first step from medieval superstition to modern botany. Leonhart Fuchs, a German doctor of medicine, deplored the terrible state of medical practice during his lifetime. Most doctors of his time relied on information from illiterate apothecaries, whom were, in turn, depending upon the peasants who gathered roots and herbs for them. Fuchs realized that patients could easily be poisoned rather than cured because of improper identification of plants. Therefore he compiled this herbal to improve the German pharmacopoeia with a reference of accurate illustrations and identifications of medicinal herbs in both German and Latin. The result was a book of great splendor, without equal among sixteenth-century herbals. It is illustrated with 511 hand-colored woodcut figures, all original and depicted from life. Fuchs looked to living plants for his illustrations, a departure from common practice at that time, but then ?improved? them by removing any natural imperfections and by showing a plant in the flowering and fruiting stages simultaneously. These figures established a standard of botanical illustration that has lasted to the present day, and more than 100 species were illustrated for the first time (including 12 New World plants such as maize, kidney bean, chili pepper, cactus, and tobacco). During Fuchs? lifetime, the herbal and its various abridgments went through 39 printings in Latin, German, French, Spanish and Dutch. This hand colored wood-cut engraving, 14.25" x 9.25", is in good condition with staining throughout and evidence of verso page text.

Fernel, Jean (Forrester, John M. & Henry, John, editors)
JEAN FERNEL'S ON THE HIDDEN CAUSES OF THINGS: FORMS, SOULS, AND OCCULT DISEASES IN RENAISSANCE MEDICINE
|
- From the series 'Medieval and Early Modern Science' volume 6. An annotated translation of Jean Fernel’s On the Hidden Causes of Things (1542) , with a scholarly introduction showing its great importance in the intellectual history of the Renaissance. The only sixteenth-century writer, apart from Paracelsus, to develop a new theory of disease, Fernel was also a leading natural philosopher. His survey of the role of occult qualities and powers in life processes, especially generation, and in contagious and pestilential diseases draws upon astrology, alchemy, and other occult sciences. Although an original and innovatory thinker, Fernel operated within the parameters of Aristotelian and Galenic philosophy, while drawing upon Platonic, Stoic and other worldviews. Accordingly, this book shows the continued vitality in traditional thought in the period just before the Scientific Revolution. ; tall 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 782 pp. no ; Brill Academic Publishers; 2005; Hardcover; Tiny bump to the bottom fore-corner of the front board. Slight waviness to a small number of page margins. Otherwise 'as-new'.

Bud! Guillaume
DE ASSE & PARTIBUS EIUS LIBRI QUINQUE ab ipso authore novissime & recogniti & locupletati
|
Paris: Mich. Vascosanus sibi Rob. Stephano, Ioh. Roigny, 1542, Nov. 1541 on on the colophon. A very fine and impressive printing by the Estiennes in Paris. A magnificent edition, it was augmented with important revisions by the author. Folio ( 330 x 220 mm.), very fine an precious full antique mottled calf of the 18th century, the upper and lower covers stamped in gilt with the arms of Le Roux dOEsneval, Baron dOEsnevail et dOAcquigny, son of Pierre-Robert and a highly important French politician and dignitary of the 18th century, the spine richly gilt and tooled in a floral motif in seven compartments separated by gilt tooled bands, one compartment with a morocco label gilt ruled and lettered. ccxxiiii (leaves) + lectori and index pp. A very handsome, large and beautiful copy, very fresh, clean, crisp and unpressed in an important binding.. A BEAUTIFUL AND IMPORTANT PRINTING BY ESTIENNE OF Bud!'s Great treatise on Roman coins and weights. "De Asse et Partibus Ejus", first printed in Venice in 1522, was the best book on the subject written up to that time and has remained an important reference for centuries. It is considered the first and most important study of the ancient money and weights of the Greeks and Romans. A French Hellenist of profound proportion, Bud! studied at Paris and Orleans where he acquire a sudden passion for learning. After taking lessons in Greek from Hermonymus, and profiting by the advice of Joannes Lascaris, he attained great proficiency in that language. He studied at the same time, philosophy, theology, law, and medicine, in all of which he made rapid progress. Bud!'s abilities were recognized by Louis XII, whose secretary he became after his return from a successful embassy on occasion of the coronation of Pope Julius II. He was sent to Rome again on a mission to Pope Leo X (1515), but was recalled at his own request and accompanied Francis I on his travels. During this period he suggested to the king the creation of a college for the study of the three languages (Greek, Hebrew, and Latin), afterwards the "College de France." Empowered to ask Erasmus to take charge of it, he failed in his mission, and the college was not founded until 1530. At his suggestion, also, Francis declined to prohibit printing, as the Sorbonne had advised (1533). Literary France owes to Bud!'s efforts the foundation of the "Biblioth!que de Fontainebleau", which was the origin of the "Biblioth!que Nationale". His letters to Erasmus, Thomas More, Sadolet, Rabelais, and others written in Greek, Latin, or French, were the delight of scholars of the time. Bud! was suspected of leanings towards Calvinism, and certain parts of his correspondence with Erasmus seemed to countenance this suspicion, but such charges were disproved after his death.

Poortman & Augusteijn, pp. 63-65 (the map); not in Adams; Bib. Belg. Rare complete copy of the 1542 edition of Vorsterman's famous Dutch Bible, first published in 1528 and banned in 1546, richly illustrated with hundreds of splendid woodcuts. One of the first Bibles in the Dutch language, aimed at both a Catholic and a Protestant market. Complete copies are extremely rare, Hollander locating only 2 complete, 12 incomplete and 4 for which he has no details, and at least 8 and probably more of the 17 copies in Biblia Sacra are incomplete, often lacking one volume. Some of the woodcuts in the New Testament are printed from the same blocks as in Vorsterman's first edition of 1528, including Lucas van Leyden's St Peter (New Hollstein, Lucas van Leyden 216), while others in the New Testament first appeared in Vorsterman editions of 1529 and 1530. Those of the Old Testament were cut by Merten de Keyser for his French Bible of 1530 and acquired by Vorstermans before 1534, and De Keyser's printer's mark, with initials MK, appears in one woodcut on the title-page. The full-page woodcut shows the six days of creation, from a single woodblock with decorative borders around and between the scenes. Vorsterman's Bible is also famous for its image of the "horned" Moses, which continued to appear in art for more than a century after the mistranslation that led to it was corrected. The Book of Psalms, with a drop title and a large illustration, begins a new series of page numbers.The first complete Dutch Bible, printed by Jacob van Liesvelt, appeared in 1526. Based on Martin Luther's German translation, it was popular with the Protestants but despised by the Catholic authorities. When Vorsterman brought out the second Dutch Bible in 1528, he went to great efforts to protect himself with the appearance of propriety, obtaining a privilege from the city of Antwerp (and from 1534 also a privilege from the Holy Roman Emperor), consent from the inquisitor, and claiming that the text had been corrected on the basis of the esteemed Complutensian Polyglot. For the most part, however, the text follows Liesvelt's. Vorsterman's Bible was a great success, and he published further editions in 1531, 1532 and 1534. The present fifth edition was the first of four that differ only in the dates in the colophons.With several objects or figures in the woodcuts on the title-page highlighted in red, and with dated owners' inscriptions of 1713, 1714 and 1715 on the flyleaves, one including detailed information and the price. Title-page detached and some leaves reinforced in the fold, some tears repaired in the folding woodcut map, some stains, a few marginal chips and tears, and one large hole and a few tiny worm holes in the gutter margin, not affecting the text. An important Bible, beautifully and extensively illustrated, rarely found complete.

PAUL D'ÉGINE;
La Chirurgie de Paulus Aegineta. Nouvellement traduicte de Grec en Françoys [par Pierre Tolet].
|
Lyon Éienne Dolet 1542 - Petit in-8 de 208 pp. mal ch. 219 (a-n8) ; vélin, titre à l'encre au dos (reliure de l'époque). Sybille von Gültlingen (Lyon), VIII, p. 224, n° 77 ; Wellcome, 4876 (collation erronée) ; manque à Waller et NLM. Troisième édition de la traduction française, la deuxième publiée séparément. La version de Pierre Tolet de la Chirurgie de Paul d'Égine ? sixième livre de ses ?uvres ? a paru pour la première fois dans un recueil publié à Lyon par Étienne Dolet ; une première édition séparée fut imprimée à Paris la même année, chez les Angeliers (cf. NLM, 3568). Le médecin alexandrin Paul d'Égine (v.625 - v. 690) est l'auteur d'un manuel de médecine en sept livres intitulé Épitomé. Cette grande encyclopédie médicale fut aussitôt traduite en arabe. Le sixième livre ? divisé en deux grands chapitres : affections des parties molles et affections des os ? servait encore en 1609 pour l'enseignement de la chirurgie à la faculté de médecine de Paris. Chirurgien généraliste, Paul d'Égine "opère les anévrysmes, les hernies, l'hydrocéphalie, incise les abscès du foie, pratique la paracentèse des ascites avec une canule de bronze, la trachéotomie et la bronchotomie" (Dict. hist. des Médecins). Le traducteur de l'ouvrage, le médecin Pierre Tolet (v. 1502 - v. 1588), étudia à Montpellier, où il se lia avec Rabelais, puis s'installa à Lyon où il devint médecin de l'Hôtel-Dieu. "Il se signala pendant des maladies épidémiques qui ravagèrent cette ville de 1544 à 1577, et reçut successivement le titre de médecin de Charles IX, de Henri III, et de Catherine de Médicis. Tolet était l'ami intime du malheureux Dolet, et ils s'adressèrent réciproquement des vers latins" (Pierre Larousse). Très bon exemplaire en vélin d'époque. Titre et premier feuillet de texte roussis, auréole claire au dernier feuillet, petite galerie de ver dans le coin inférieur de la plupart des cahiers. Ex-libris manuscrit à l'encre brune sur le premier contreplat : "Benedicti Maugue medici doctoris Monspeliensis" (XVIIe siècle).

Fuchs Leonhard
De historia stirpium 1542
|
Basle, Michael Isingrin, 1542 Folio (378 x 247 mm), pp [xxviii] 896 [4], with printer's device on title and last leaf, woodcut portrait of Fuchs on verso of title, woodcut portraits of the artists, and 509 full-page woodcuts in text; two stamps removed from blank portion of title, not noticeable, some very faint waterstaining to top margins of some gatherings, some faint spotting to margins, otherwise an exceptionally clean, crisp copy in contemporary German blindstamped pigskin, inscription on front free endleaf ' Ferd. Carl: Comes: Freger.' £75,000First edition, a fine, clean copy in a contemporary binding, of Fuchs' celebrated herbal. It effected a revolution in the natural sciences, comparable to that of Copernicus in astronomy and Vesalius in anatomy, both of which were published the following year, 1543. This work was part of the pioneering effort of Fuchs, Brunfels and Bock that earned them the title of the 'German fathers of botany'. All three partook of a reforming zeal, partially religious in origin, to correct botanical knowledge, which had mostly been in the hands of itinerant and illiterate herbalists. To effect this reform accurate illustration and identification was the first requirement and it was to this task that Fuchs addressed himself. Fuchs employed the best artists then available in Basle: Albrecht Meyer did the drawings, Heinrich Füllmaurer transferred them to the woodblocks, and they were cut by Veit Rudolph Speckle. All three are depicted in the book, the first time that book illustrators are themselves portrayed and named in a book. These illustrations set a new standard for botanical depiction and were some of the most influential in botanical history, being copied for innumerable works well into the eighteenth century. Some 40 species are illustrated for the first time, including several American plants, such as maize and the pumpkin.The herbals of Brunfels and Fuchs 'have rightly been ascribed importance in the history of botany, and for two reasons. In the first place they established the requisites of botanical illustration- verisimilitude in form and habit, and accuracy of significant detail... Secondly they provided a corpus of plant species which were identifiable with a considerable degree of certainty by any reasonably careful observer, no matter by what classical or vernacular names they were called' (Morton, History of botanical science).Adams F1099; Dibner 19; Horblit 33b; Hunt 48; Norman 846; Parkinson p 37; PMM 69; Stillwell 640

Lyon Éienne Dolet 1542 "Petit in-8 de 208 pp. mal ch. 219 (a-n8) ; vélin, titre à l'encre au dos (reliure de l'époque)." "Sybille von Gültlingen (Lyon), VIII, p. 224, n° 77 ; Wellcome, 4876 (collation erronée) ; manque à Waller et NLM. Troisième édition de la traduction française, la deuxième publiée séparément. La version de Pierre Tolet de la Chirurgie de Paul d'Égine – sixième livre de ses œuvres – a paru pour la première fois dans un recueil publié à Lyon par Étienne Dolet ; une première édition séparée fut imprimée à Paris la même année, chez les Angeliers (cf. NLM, 3568). Le médecin alexandrin Paul d'Égine (v.625 - v. 690) est l'auteur d'un manuel de médecine en sept livres intitulé Épitomé. Cette grande encyclopédie médicale fut aussitôt traduite en arabe. Le sixième livre – divisé en deux grands chapitres : affections des parties molles et affections des os – servait encore en 1609 pour l'enseignement de la chirurgie à la faculté de médecine de Paris. Chirurgien généraliste, Paul d'Égine ""opère les anévrysmes, les hernies, l'hydrocéphalie, incise les abscès du foie, pratique la paracentèse des ascites avec une canule de bronze, la trachéotomie et la bronchotomie"" (Dict. hist. des Médecins). Le traducteur de l'ouvrage, le médecin Pierre Tolet (v. 1502 - v. 1588), étudia à Montpellier, où il se lia avec Rabelais, puis s'installa à Lyon où il devint médecin de l'Hôtel-Dieu. ""Il se signala pendant des maladies épidémiques qui ravagèrent cette ville de 1544 à 1577, et reçut successivement le titre de médecin de Charles IX, de Henri III, et de Catherine de Médicis. Tolet était l'ami intime du malheureux Dolet, et ils s'adressèrent réciproquement des vers latins"" (Pierre Larousse). Très bon exemplaire en vélin d'époque. Titre et premier feuillet de texte roussis, auréole claire au dernier feuillet, petite galerie de ver dans le coin inférieur de la plupart des cahiers.

Premiere edition illustree d'un ouvrage qui fut initialement edite en 1542 a Wittemberg. 2 frontispices et 21 gravures de Bernard Picard representant des episodes hagiographiques de la vue de Saint Francois.. Cohen, 5. Pages de titres rouges et noires. Le faux titre dans un encadrement grave de Picard porte la date de 1733. §Plein Maroquin marine d'epoque. Dos lisse Janseniste. Serie de hachures sur les coupes. Tranches dorees. Dos legerement passes. Belle reliure, assez rare. §Celebre pamphlet, particulierement violent, contre le livre de Barthelemi de Pise qui soulignait les similarites entre la vie de Jesus Christ et la vie de Saint Francois. Le livre debute par une preface de Conrad Badius et de Martin Luther, tres insultant a l'egard des Papistes et des Cordeliers. L'ouvrage est en latin et en francais, il reprend le recit hagiographique de Saint Francois en lui adjoignant des notes de bas de page, et des critiques extremement severes et virulentes. Plus generalement, le livre est une attaque directe contre les Catholiques par les Protestants, les accusant d'heresies, d'abominations, de satanisme... « Car il (ce livre) est tel, que quand hommes et diables degorgeraient leurs poisons execrables tous contre Dieu, ils n'en sauraient plus dire qu'un moine seul en a ose ecrire » Conrad Badius.Photos sur www.Edition-originale.com.

DEUTSCHE REICHSTAGSAKTEN unter Kaiser Karl V.: Der Reichstag zu Nürnberg 1542.
|
München: Oldenbourg 2009. 980 S. Ln.mS. *neuwertig* Der von König Ferdinand gemeinsam mit den kaiserlichen Kommissaren geleitete Reichstag zu Nürnberg sollte die in Speyer vereinbarte Finanzierung des Türkenzuges in Ungarn sicherstellen. Gegen den Widerstand der schmalkaldischen Bundeshauptleute und aller Reichsstädte wurde die abermalige Einhebung des Gemeinen Pfennigs beschlossen. Zwei weitere kriegerische Ereignisse beeinflussten die Verhandlungen: der Feldzug Kursachsens und Hessens gegen Braunschweig und der wieder aufflammende habsburgisch-französische Konflikt. Die Reichsversammlung bot den Kriegsparteien ein geeignetes Forum zur propagandistischen Rechtfertigung ihres Vorgehens. Die Thematik von "Friede und Recht" war auf interne Verhandlungen der Protestierenden beschränkt. Eine endgültige vertragliche Regelung erfuhr das Verhältnis zwischen dem Herzogtum Lothringen und dem deutschen Reich.

LIVY (Titus Livius).
Titi Livii Patavini LATINAE HISTORIAE PRINCIPIS. Decas quarta [-decadis quintae libri v].
|
Lugduni [Lyon]: apud Seb. Gryphium, 1542. Two parts in one volume, 8vo, 539, (18 index), (2 blank),(1 printer’s device); 230, (8 index), (1 blank), (1 printer’s device)pp. 17th-cent. vellum, yapp edges. Recent ink titles to spine, old owner entries, notes, and bookplate at ffep; entries and scribblings at final leaf and rfep; old ink smudge at title, early marginal annotations (often slightly shaved) and underlinings in first part, first quire beginning to detach. Overall a good copy with clean, crisp text, both parts complete with final leaf of printer’s vignette. ¶ First Gryphius edition, the fourth and fifth decades (Books xxxi-xlv) of Livy’s History. The complete edition of 1542 consists of six parts, the first two containing the first and third surviving decades, the final two an epitome, and a volume of annotations by Beatus Rhenanus and Sigismundus Gelenium. The two parts here offered are notable for what they reveal about editorial decisions by the foremost historian of the Augustan age: “The way in which Livy... deals with his authorities, may be best studied in his fourth and fifth decades. While he there follows the Roman annalists, Cl. Quadrigarius and Valerius Antias, in his narrative of exclusively Roman events, his authority for the relations between Rome and the Hellenic States is Polybius. He does not however copy his Greek original too closely, but apparently aims at giving his version a Roman tone and rhetorical colouring” (Sandys I, p.189). ¶ After learning the book trade in Germany and Venice, Sebastian Gryphius (1493-1556) moved to Lyon in 1520 to work as an agent for Venetian booksellers. He set up his own press in 1524 and quickly became the leading humanistic publisher in Lyon. A survey of key collective databases suggests that the present edition of Livy (not in Adams) is notably scarcer than Gryphius’ later edition of 1554. Baudrier VIII, p.173. Cf. Adams L-1341 (ed.1554). Our volume has passed through many hands as evidenced by the very early notes predating the present binding, the old entry of one William Gyles, and the bookplate of Nathan Starr of Oxford (1921). A very legible early entry on the rear endleaf may be that of Samuel Barrow (1625?–1683), an English physician and lawyer of the army.

La premiere edition de ces 3 traites de Mesue commentes par Sylvius parut en 1542 a Paris chez Christian Weschel en un Vol. in Folio. L'edition connut plusieurs editions en 1544 et 1548. Brunet III, 1675. §Plein Velin d'epoque souple a rabats avec traces de lacets. Manque une partie du rabat superieur. Abu Zakariya Yahya Ibn Masuyah dit Jean Mesue, medecin chretien ne a Khuz pres de Ninive en 776 et mort a Bagdad en 855 ou il exerca et pratiqua la medecine, et qui fut le medecin personnel du khalife Haroun El Rachid. En dehors du role preeminent qu'il joua dans la medecine arabe, traduisant nombre de textes grecs, son livre des aphorismes (des axiomes medicaux) eut un succes considerable en occident, dont certains ont encore cours aujourd'hui. Il redigea egalement le premier traite de dietetique reposant sur les proprietes des aliments de Gallien, analysant les effets de 140 aliments sur le corps. Par ailleurs la medecine arabe commenca a influencer d'une maniere importante l'Europe au XVe siecle, car les arabes avaient commente et traduit nombre de textes grecs, et notamment certaines grandes academies telles que Montpellier et Paris, c'est ici que nous retrouvons notre commentateur, un grand medecin de son temps, Jacobus Sylvius ou Jacques Dubois (1478-1554), qui officia a Paris, puis a Montpellier, chasse de Paris car il n'etait point Docteur en medecine et portait trop d'ombrage par sa renommee (on venait de toute l'Europe pour le consulter). §Les arabes sont surtout les peres de la pharmacopee et c'est precisement l'interet de cette edition, rencontre de deux grands medecins sur des questions de remedes a plusieurs siecles d'intervalle. Sylvius a renuni dans cet ouvrage les trois plus grands ouvrages de Mesue sur la question : Methodus medicamenta purgentia et De singularis medicamentis purgantibus.

The two parts here offered are notable for what they reveal about editorial decisions by the foremost historian of the Augustan age: The way in which Livy. deals with his authorities, may be best studied in his fourth and fifth decades. While he there follows the Roman annalists, Cl. Quadrigarius and Valerius Antias, in his narrative of exclusively Roman events, his authority for the relations between Rome and the Hellenic States is Polybius. He does not however copy his Greek original too closely, but apparently aims at giving his version a Roman tone and rhetorical colouringÓ (Sandys I, p.189). ¦ After learning the book trade in Germany and Venice, Sebastian Gryphius (1493-1556) moved to Lyon in 1520 to work as an agent for Venetian booksellers. He set up his own press in 1524 and quickly became the leading humanistic publisher in Lyon. A survey of key collective databases suggests that the present edition of Livy (not in Adams) is notably scarcer than Gryphius later edition of 1554. Baudrier VIII, p.173. Cf. Adams L-1341 (ed.1554). Our volume has passed through many hands as evidenced by the very early notes predating the present binding, the old entry of one William Gyles, and the bookplate of Nathan Starr of Oxford (1921). A very legible early entry on the rear endleaf may be that of Samuel Barrow (1625?Ð1683), an English physician and lawyer of the army. Two parts in one volume, 8vo, 539, (18 index), (2 blank), (1 printers device); 230, (8 index), (1 blank), (1 printers device)pp. 17th-cent. vellum, yapp edges. Recent ink titles to spine, old owner entries, notes, and bookplate at ffep; entries and scribblings at final leaf and rfep; old ink smudge at title, early marginal annotations (often slightly shaved) and underlinings in first part, first quire beginning to detach. Overall a good copy with clean, crisp text, both parts complete with final leaf of printers vignette. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

T.p.in fine woodcut border (trimmed at fore-margin), 6 ful-page woodcuts in Triomphi (from the Zoppino edition of 1526). Petrarch (1304-1374) Italian scholar and poet, often considered the "first humanist".He was widely travelled and became the first great Alpinist. His famous series of poems to Laura, the Canzoniere, are still considered some of the greatest poems ever written. "Not only did this culture hero gain an ardent welcome or these ideas and practices (antiquarianism, study of elegant Latin, study of Greek, etc.), but he shaped them into a single movement that came to dominate the culture of the age: to have established the vogue and ideology of classical antiquity and humanistic studies was Petrarch's most significant achievement. In this sense he was 'the founder of the Renaissance." Wedeck & Schweitzer, Dictionary of the Renaissance.#11;This is a rare edition which, despite its worming and lacking text at the end. has quite attractive woodcuts.

Spine with minor wear and a few smaller spots. Four first leaves with a few spots, otherwise very nice and clean. All in all a nice and attractive copy. from the library of Petrus Buoninsegnus, with his book-plate (dated 1814) to inside of front board. (4), 26, (1) ff. The very rare first, and perhaps only, edition of this work, consisting in extracts of Proclos' philosophical works in Latin, namely those on Plato, composed by Raphaël Mambla.Renaissance printings of the philosophical works of the great Greek Neoplatonist Proclos (410-85) (often considered the last great Neoplatonist) are of the utmost scarcity, although his greatest contribution lies in his commentaries on Plato's works, as well as his "Theological Elements". He developed one of the most elaborate, precise and convincing systems of Neoplatonism, and his influence on Medieval, and later also Renaissance, thought was immense. Neoplatonism is a term invented in the 18th century for a school of religious and mystical philosophy, which was founded in the third century and dominated down to the end of Antiquity in the sixth century, when the Emperor Justinian closed the Neoplatonic Academy (529). Neoplatonic teaching revolved around a renewed study of the teachings of Plato that were now combined with the doctrines of other schools of Greek philosophy. The school called itself Platonic, but modern historians named it "Neoplatonic" in order to emphasize its differences from Plato. Plato's dialogues were the main philosophical authority, but Plotinus, Ammnius, Proclus, and the other Noeplatonists attempted to fit all of Plato's scattered doctrines into a coherent system and to incorporate other Stoic and Aristotelian ideas into this, thus creating a comprehensive synthesis of Greek thought. As such Neoplatonism came to dominate the final phase of ancient philosophy and bequeathed its heritage to subsequent ages. Neoplatonism must be considered the only really original product of Greek philosophy in the third century, and after having been neglected during the Middle Ages, this original philosophical direction was being discovered in the Renaissance, the philosophy of which came to be hugely dominated by this Neo-Platonism. "In Proclus, one of the last heads of the Athenian school, Neoplatonism attains its most systematic and even schematic perfection. In his "Elements of Theology" and "Platonic Theology" all things and their mutual relations are neatly defined and deduced in their proper place and order; and the concepts of Aristotle's logic and metaphysics, divested of their specific and concrete reference, are used as elements of a highly abstract and comprehensive ontology. As a commentator, Proclus applied this neat and scholastic system to some of Plato's dialogues, just as other members of the school applied it to Aristotle. And as the leading philosophy of the period, Neoplatonism supplied practically all later Greek Church Fathers and theologians with their philosophical terms and concepts." (Kristeller, Renaissance Thought and its Sources, 1979, p. 53).During the Renaissance a special and profound interest in the teachings of Neoplatonism emerged, and the 15th and 16th century Latin translations and editions of the works of Plato and of the Neoplatonists, which made the texts available to Western readers, are seminal to the history of Platonism, Neoplatonism, and Western thought in general.Not in Adams, not in Graesse, not in Brunet.

Tabula Europae IX [Greece & Turkey]
|
Interesting map covering the region west of the Black Sea and north of the Aegean and Adriatic Seas, including the Straits of Bosphorus, from the 1542 edition of Munster's Geographia. The map is unchanged from the 1540 edition. Munster's Geographia was a cartographic landmark, including not only Ptolemaic maps, but also a number of landmark modern maps, including the first separate maps of the 4 continents, the first map of England and the earliest obtainable map of Scandinavia. Munster dominated cartographic publication during the mid-16th Century. Munster is generally regarded as one of the three most important map makers of the 16th Century, along with Ortelius and Mercator. Munster was a linguist and mathematician, who initially taught Hebrew in Heidelberg. He issued his first mapping of Germany in 1529, after which he issued a call geographical information about Germany to scholars throughout the country. The response was better than hoped for, and included substantial foreign material, which supplied him with up to date, if not necessarily accurate maps for the issuance of his Geographia in 1540.

Excellent modern map of German Europe, with South oriented at the top of the map. The map extends from the Baltic (Danzig, Kolberg, Rostok and Lubec) and Vistula to the Low Countries (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Selandie Insulae, and Ghent) in the North to the Alps, Switzerland, Austria and Croatia (Sagabria, Geneva, Insbrug, Lucern, etc. shown) in the south. The map is centered on Nurnberg and the Franconia region and shows the extent of the Germanic regions of Europe in the 16th Century. One of the best modern maps of the region to date.

Alvaro Nunez Cabeza de Vaca: sus logros, su vida y la expedicion de Panfilo de Narvaez
|
University of Nebraska Press. Hardcover. 0803214545 Alvar Nez Cabeza de Vaca's account of the doomed Narvaez expedition to the vast unexplored lands beyond the northern frontier of New Spain has long been heralded as the quintessential tale of the European confronting the wilderness of North America and its native inhabitants for the first time. After living captive among native peoples of the present-day Texas coast for almost six years, Cabeza de Vaca traveled overland through present-day western Texas and northern Mexico until being reunited with his countrymen near the Pacific coast. His account offers an isolated glimpse of areas of Gulf coastal Texas and northeastern Mexico that would not be visited again by Europeans for over 150 years and is the earliest authentic eyewitness description of the North American bison. Volume 1 presents the first modern edition of Cabeza de Vaca's original 1542 relacion and a new, annotated, facing-page English translation. It concludes with a newly researched study of Cabeza de Vaca's life. Volume 2 analyzes the narrative in discrete segments, putting into context Cabeza de Vaca's descriptions of the landscape, ecology, and peoples he encountered. It also includes new research into the preparations of Narvaez's expedition in Spain and a fresh study of the lives and fates of Cabeza de Vaca's three surviving companions. Volume 3 considers the literary and historical contexts of Cabeza de Vaca's relacion. The literary inquiry examines the workÆs creation, publication history, and literary and cultural legacy from the sixteenth century to the present. The historical analysis presents new studies of Spanish exploration in the Gulf of Mexico (1508-28), Spanish speculation on and exploration of the South Sea (1502-39), and Nuno de Guzman's conquest of Nueva Galicia (1530-31).1317p, many illus and maps (Nebraska UP 1999). 9780803214545.
