MALEBRANCHE, (N.)
Reponse du Pere Malebranche pretre de l'Oratoire, a la Troisieme Lettre de M. Arnauld Docteur de Sorbonne, touchant les Idees & les Plaisirs.
|
A Amsterdam, Chez Henry Wetstein, 1704. (6), 400, (2) pp.; (4), 42 pp. Small 8vo. Nineteenth century polished calf, gilt triple fillet ons sides, richly decorated spine with raised bands, labels with gilt lettering, inside dentelles, all edges gilt (E. Niedree). Not in Thomas; not in Cioranescu; not in Conlon, Prelude. First edition, apparently rare. At the end of this answer by Malebranche to objections raised by Arnauld has been bound, with its own pagination, the three letters by Arnauld against Malebranche. The Malebranche-Arnauld debate was one of the great intellectual events of the seventeenth century, and it attracted the attention of many, including Leibniz, Locke and Newton. Malebranche also had a significant impact on the French Enlightenment. His ideas received a wide and thorough hearing in the Republic of Letters, thanks initially to the efforts of Pierre Bayle and, later, of the Encyclopedistes. In Britain, the philosophers George Berkeley and David Hume were, despite their critiques of Malebranche's views, deeply indebted to his analysis of causation and, in the case of Berkeley, to his understanding of the relationship between God and creation (see Encyclopedia of the Enlightenment, vol. 3, pp. 9-12).Nicolas Malebranche (1638-1715), one of the principal figures in the development of Cartesianism, was born in Paris and received his formal intellectual training in philosophy and theology at the College de la Marche and the Sorbonne. In 1664 he came upon Descartes's posthumously published Traite de l'Homme, an early, unfinished work describing the mechanics of human physiology and indicating Descartes's distinction between soul and body. Deeply impressed, Malebranche applied himself to the study of Cartesian philosophy, mathematics, and natural science. This study resulted in the publication of his famous De la Recherche de la Verite followed, five years later, by his Traite de la Nature et de la grace. Both works aroused an immense controversy which forced Malebranche to spend much of his life explaining and defending his views and in doing so showed his considerable talent for philosophic argument. He examined and refuted objections and, in doing so, used the occasion to elaborate or revise some of his views.Malebranche was continually involved in polemics with, among others, Foucher, Le Valois (de la Ville), Fontenelle, Leibniz, Regis and Lamy. The most interesting and important polemic -and the most acrimonious and voluminous- was with that exceptionally keen critic, coauthor of the Port Royal Logic, and philosophically talented Jansenist, Antoine Arnauld. Arnauld's most important attack on Malebranche was his Des Vrayes et Fausses Idees, Cologne, 1683.

[Biblical Scene. Jerusalem Temple. Engraved Print]: LUYKE...
Pompejus neemt den Tempel te Ierusalem Stormenderhand in. Prise du Temple de Jérusalem par Pompée. [THE STORMING OF JERUSALEM BY POMPEY]
|
[Amsterdam]: P. Mortier, [1704]. ¶ Eighteenth-century copper engraved plate, illustrated surface measuring 32 by 41 cm. Mild embrowning and rumpling at blank edges, else fine. Professionally presented in hinged archival mat with mylar guard, suitable for framing. ¶ From one of the finest series of 18th-century biblical illustrations, by Amsterdam born artist, engraver and poet Jan Luyken (1649-1712). The present plate was produced for a Dutch edition of Josephus’ Works (P. Mortier, 1704); it was reissued by Covens & Mortier in 1729, and appeared in F. Houttuyn’s new edition in 1747. Little is known about Luyken who apprenticed for the painter Martinus Saeghmolen; he appears to have abandoned his early libertine ways and former associates after a religious conversion at the age of 26. Distinguished by their clarity and detail, Luyken’s works were quite popular in the period after Rembrandt. Digital image available upon request.

Typis Christoph. Krebsii, Jena 1704 - Unbound pamphlet 4to . FIRST EDITION of this alchemical dissertation on love potions or "philters" delivered under the praesis of Rudolf Wilhelm Crause (1642-1718). "Dissertations under R.G. Crausius, dean of the medical faculty at Jena, included alchemical subjects, the universal medicine in 1679, the principles and transmutation of metals in 1686; denial of fermentation in the blood, in 1682; mental disease or bordering thereon, such as incubus in 1683, [etc.] . These dissertation sujbects did not become any less magical in the first decode of the next century, when enchanted persons were discussed in 1701, philters in 1704, and the spirit of the world in 1707" (Thorndike VII, p. 357). A fascinating treatise on philters with descriptions of their use and abuse, how to cure and defend against. The later part has extensive alchemical formulas for their creation. Appended to the work is a letter addressed to the eminent German physician, botanist and chemist, Georg Wolffgang Wedel, who also has an interest in the subject of alchemy 51, [1]] pp. Woodcut headpiece. � Ferchl, Chemish-Pharm.

CLARENDON, Edward, Earl of
History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England
|
1704. CLARENDON, Earl of [HYDE, Edward]. The History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England, Begun in the Year 1641. With the precedent Passages, and Actions, that contributed thereunto, and the happy End, and Conclusion thereof by the King's blessed Restoration. Oxford: Printed at the Theater, [1702]-04. Three volumes. Tall folio (10 by 15-1/2 inches), contemporary full gilt-stamped paneled brown calf rebacked in period-style and recornered, raised bands, red and green morocco spine labels. $4200. First edition, with second issue title pages (uniformly dated 1704), of this "broad and lucid" history of the "Puritan Revolution," the struggle between a king who claimed to rule by divine right and a Parliament that professed to have rights independent of the crown. Each volume with half title, engraved frontispiece portrait and vignette title page. "Since its publication at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Earl of Clarendon's history of the English Civil War has remained one of the most important sources for our understanding of the events which changed the course of British history! [It] chronicles in absorbing detail the intrigues and upheavals, the alliances and confrontations, the triumphs and the tragedies, of the 1640s and 1650s. In elegant and vital prose it brings to life the personalities who shaped the era, and the principles for which a nation was divided" (Oxford University Press). The Civil War has also been called the "Puritan Revolution," because the religious complexion of the king's opponents was prevailingly Puritan, and because the issue was between a king's claim of divine right and a Parliament that professed to have rights independent of the crown. Clarendon's is "the most valuable of all the contemporary accounts of the Civil Wars! His characters are not simply bundles of characteristics, but consistent and full of life, sketched sometimes with affection, sometimes with light humor" (DNB). The Wars' religious consequence was the end of the Church of England's monopoly on Christian worship, with the consolidation of the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland. The political consequence was the establishment of the Commonwealth and Protectorate. Printed at the Oxford University Press between 1702-04, "the titles of some copies of this first edition are uniformly dated 1704" (Lowndes), as is this set. Brunet II, 81. Graesse II, 191. Lowndes 467. Owner signatures on title pages, occasional pencil annotation, evidence of bookplate removal. Text generally very clean, expert paper repairs to bottom gutter of first six gatherings of Volume II, moderate rubbing and abrading to contemporary paneled calf boards, very handsomely rebacked. A near-fine copy.

"Einer seiner begabtesten Schüler setzte nach Muffats Weggang diese Anfänge einer salzburgischen musiktheoretischen Schule fort: J.B. Samber (1654 - 1717), Sohn eines Salzburger Hofangestellten, seit 1689 Stadtpfarrorganist und seit 1693 Domstiftsorganist. Seine große große Erfahrung und seine Unterrichtsmethoden legte er in drei umfangreichen Traktaten nieder, die neben der Elementarmusiklehre, Solmisation und Generalbaß eine Anleitung zur Erstellung von Orgeldispositionen und Orgelregistrierungen, aber auch Kontrapunkt, Fugen und Chorallehre als Grundlage für angehende Kirchenmusiker, Organisten und Komponisten enthalten. Dem beigelegten dritten Buch, das inhaltlich nicht zu den beiden oben angeführten Traktaten gehört, legt er seine Grundsätze der Choralmusik dar und erläutert diese durch zahlreiche Notenbeispiele. Sie dienten ganzen Generationen zur Grundlage ihrer Studien. Vorsatz von Band 1 mit eingeklebter Expertise der Salzburger Studienbibliothek: "Dieses Exemplar von: Joan. Bapt.

Giovanni Francesco Gemelli Careri
Description De Mexico et des Lagunes De Ses Environs
|
Rare map of the area around Mexio City, centered on the large Lagune de Mexico and extends to include the surrounding mountains, rivers, towns and villages, reportedly derived from a copy an original native map while Careri was in Mexico. The map is drawn on a partial bird's-eye format, with an imaginary horizon that includes an erupting volcano at upper right. Many villages are located including Pachuca, Tacoma, Atlapilco, Tolodyuca, Tetlapanaloya, and Apazco. Careri's account states that the map is a copy of a map drawn by Charles Siguenza of an original drawn by native Americans. The Mexicans were told to search for a place that would be shown to them by the presence of an eagle standing on a cactus growing out of a rock. This place is Tenochtitlán or the present-day Mexico City. The present map is from an edition of Careri's account published in Paris. The work also appears in Churchill's collection of voyages and travels, published in London, 1704. Gemelli Careri was a world traveler who went around the world starting with the Holy Land and ending in Mexico. His five-year journey which began in 1693 ended by taking the silver fleet back to Spain from Cuba. (Paris, 1719) [color: Uncolored, size: 8.5 x 7 inches, condition: VG]

[First published in 1691, with editions in 1692 and 1696, all being one of the two less complete versions described by Howell.] [14]+129+[19]pp. + copper engraved frontis portrait of Aristotle. Signatures: pi1, a, A-M in 6s, N2. 12mo. Contemporary paneled calf boards, crudely rebacked in the mid-20th century. Front & rear flyleaves defective; pocket removed from rear paste-down; recto of a6 quite dirty; staining (including some old mold-stain) to a1, a6, and N1; last two leaves lightly browned; still, a decent copy, although inappropriately rebacked. With the 18th century signature and bookplate to the front paste-down of William Wynne Esq. of the Inner Temple. Howell notes that there were two distinct versions of the early editions, a short & a long form. This fourth edition, the last edition published in Aldrich's lifetime, appears to be the first edition to combine both versions, and thus the first complete edition. It contains a 12 page Praefatio discussing the history of logic through the Scholastics; added sections on method (pp. 99-102) and the use of logic (pp. 102-129); an unpaginated 17 page Conclusio discussing recent contributions to logic from Lull on, including the Port Royal Logic.

A Churchman, scholar, composer, and architect at Oxford in the latter half of the 17th century, Aldrich was Dean of Christ Church from 1689 until his death, and vice chancellor of Oxford in 1692. His Artis logicae compendium was a widely used textbook into the 1860s. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, translated it into English in 1750. Henry Mansel edited an edition with numerous notes and references in 1849. It "took the place of Sanderson's similar treatise in the study of logical theory at Oxford and elsewhere, and because it not only carried the outlines of Aristotelian doctrine across the years between 1691 and 1825 in England, but it also provided the inspiration for the tremendous increase in the popularity of Peripatetic logic among English logicians of the first three decades of the nineteenth century. Thus it has an importance that contradicts the expectations created by its small size, its condensed style, and its status as a textbook for college undergraduates" [Howell p. 42]. Very Good

First collected edition. [1]4, B-T8. 288 pages. This is a clean copy, in contemporary boards, rebacked. . This collection of EtheregeOs works contains the following plays: Love in a Tub; She WouOd if She CouOd; The Man of Mode, or, Sir Fopling Flutter. The poems are two OLetters to the Earl of Middleton,O OA Song,O OThe Forsaken Mistress,O and OSong of Basset.O#11;#11;John Dennis commented on The Man of Mode in 1722. ONow I remember very well that upon the first acting this comedy, it was generally believed to be an agreeable representation of the persons of condition of both sexes, both in court and town; and that all the world was charmed with Dorimant; and that it was unanimously agreed that he had in him several of the qualities of Wilmot Earl of Rochester, as his wit, his spirit, his amorous temper, the charms that he had for the fair sex, his falsehood, and his inconstancy; the agreeable manner of his chiding his servants, which the late Bishop of Salisbury takes notice of in his life; and lastly, his repeating on every occasion the verses of Waller, for whom that noble lord had a very particular esteem.#11;#11;OOTis by the ridicule that there is in the character of Sir Fopling, which is one of the principal ones of this comedy, from which it takes its name, that he is so very well qualified to please and to instruct. What true Englishman is there but must be pleased to see this ridiculous knight made the jest and the scorn of all the other characters for showing, by his foolish aping foreign customs and manners, that he prefers another country to his own? And of what important instruction must it be to all our youth who travel to show them that, if they so far forget the love of their country as to declare by their espousing foreign customs and manners that they prefer France or Italy to Great Britain, at their return they must justly expect to be the jest and the scorn of their own countrymen.#11;#11;OTo conclude with one general observation, that comedy may be qualified in a powerful manner both to instruct and to please, the very constitution of its subject out always to be ridiculous. Comedy, says Rapin, is an image of common life and its end is to expose upon the stage the defects of particular persons in order to cure the defects of the public and to correct and amend the people by the fear of being laughed at. That therefore, says he, which is most essential to comedy is certainly the ridicule.O #11;

|
Typis Christoph. Krebsii, Jena 1704 - Unbound pamphlet 4to . FIRST EDITION of this alchemical dissertation on love potions or "philters" delivered under the praesis of Rudolf Wilhelm Crause (1642-1718). "Dissertations under R.G. Crausius, dean of the medical faculty at Jena, included alchemical subjects, the universal medicine in 1679, the principles and transmutation of metals in 1686; denial of fermentation in the blood, in 1682; mental disease or bordering thereon, such as incubus in 1683, [etc.] . These dissertation sujbects did not become any less magical in the first decode of the next century, when enchanted persons were discussed in 1701, philters in 1704, and the spirit of the world in 1707" (Thorndike VII, p. 357). A fascinating treatise on philters with descriptions of their use and abuse, how to cure and defend against. The later part has extensive alchemical formulas for their creation. Appended to the work is a letter addressed to the eminent German physician, botanist and chemist, Georg Wolffgang Wedel, who also has an interest in the subject of alchemy 51, [1]] pp. Woodcut headpiece. § Ferchl, Chemish-Pharm.

PSALMANAAZAAR, George
Historical and Geographical Description of Formosa
|
1704. FIRST EDITION. PSALMANAAZAAR, George. An Historical and Geographical Description of Formosa, an Island Subject to the Emperor of Japan! By George Psalmanaazaar, a Native of the Said Land, now in London. London: Dan Brown et al., 1704. Octavo, modern full brown speckled calf, raised bands, red morocco spine label. $2500. First edition of one of the most notorious and successful publishing hoaxes, with 15 plates (two folding). Psalmanaazaar (actually a Frenchman whose real name was never discovered) originally presented himself in Europe as a Japanese. After teaming up with William Innes, he began presenting himself as a native of Formosa. "To improve his position, Psalmanaazaar, at Innes's instigation, prepared a full account of what he alleged to be his early life and experiences! It was completed in two months, and was issued before the end of 1704, with a dedication to Bishop Compton, as An Historical and Geographical Description of Formosa, an Island subject to the Emperor of Japan. There was prefixed a long introduction, describing his reception in England, his travels, and his conversion to Protestantism. He seized every opportunity of abusing the Jesuits, a policy which commended the work to English churchmen. In a later section the language, dress, religious beliefs, and political constitution of Formosa were set forth in detail! the book met with much success." When his mentor Innes abandoned him to become chaplain-general to the English forces in Portugal, Psalmanaazaar was unable to continue the imposture, and gradually lost credibility. By 1708, he was widely ridiculed in the press. Ex-library, with ink- and blind-stamps on the title page and dedication page. Occasional light foxing, neat paper repair to folding plate of Formosan alphabet. Attractive binding fine.

ORSINI, Vincenzo Maria (Pier Francesco, papa Benedetto XIII, (Gravina di Puglia, 1649 - RM 1715)
Prima diocesana Synodus sanctae Tusculanae Ecclesiae. celebrata die 18.19 & 20 Novembris 1703.
|
1704., Raomae, Roma, 1704 - Typis Jo. Francisci Chracas, al colophon: Per Giuseppe de Martijs, nella Stamperia di Gio. Francesco Chracas Cartonato ‘800, titoli ms. su tassello in carta al dorso, 4°(cm.21), pagg. 285-(7), antico timbro dei camaldolesi al frontespizio e piccolo timbro con numero al verso bianco; testo in italiano (latino sino a pag.84), con alcune iniziali ornate, bei mascheroni silografici nel testo. anche a piena pagina e allegoria incisa in legno al colophon. Vincenzo Maria (nome domenicano) Orsini figlio primogenito del duca di Gravina, rinunziò alla primogenitura per farsi religioso. A 26 anni era vescovo di Manfredonia, poi di Cesena e dal 1686 fu arcivescovo dell’amata Benevento, titolo che eccezionalmente manterrà anche dopo il 1724 quando fu eletto papa col nome di Benedetto XIII. Nel 1701 ebbe la sede di Frascati e col sostegno dell’arcivescovo di Otranto, celebrò il primo Sinodo Tuscolano. Nell’occasione adornò la cattedrale di S. Pietro di preziose reliquie, ancora esposte ai fedeli, ed eresse il trono episcopale, (era pure pronipote di papa Celestino III, sotto il quale, nel 1191, terminò d’esistere l’antica città di Tuscolo). Uomo di profonda cultura, fondò l’Università degli Studi di Camerino (1727), e di profonda umanità, intervenne a favore di Benevento nei terremoti del 1688 e 1702. Il Sinodo di Frascati, oltre alle direttive per la diocesi, conserva le "Regole per il buon reggimento del Monte Frumentario" appena eretto in Frascati nel giugno 1703, fervida testimanianza del suo saldo impegno sociale col quale mirava a sottrarre i braccianti dall’usura e ad agevolare la formazione di piccoli proprietari terrieri.

Three popular spiritual emblem books, bound together contemporarily in one volume, the first two by Jan Luyken, and the third by Pieter and Jan Huygen with emblems by Jan Luyken, all three still published without the author's names mentioned on title. Ad 1: Luyken's "Jezus en de Ziel", one of his earliest and most popular works, see description above, is here in the 7th edition, enlarged with a letter in answer to one of Luyken's readers with a contemplation on the nature of God. Ad 2: Luiken's "Vonken der Liefde", here in the 4th edition, is often found bound together with "Jezus en de Ziel", as they both are devoted to the same subject, a Christian's love for Jesus. First published in 1687, the emblems are still the same, but the frontispiece was newly engraved and is here dated 1705. Ad 3: In Huygen's work all poems added to the emblems were meant to be sung, set to a popular tune. First published in 1689, the book is here in its third edition. The "Stichtelyke Rymen" promised on title were published separately and are not present here. Fine convolute of 3 beautiful emblem books. Ad 1: Landwehr, Emblem & Fable Books , 478; Klaversma & Hannema 962; Van Eeghen-van der Kellen 6, nos. 9-47; Praz p. 406; ad 2: Landwehr, Emblem & Fable Books , 489; Klaversma & Hannema 1027; Van Eeghen-Van der Kellen 124, nos. 834-885; Scheurleer, Liedboeken , 87; Praz p. 406; ad 3: Landwehr, Emblem & Fable Books , 371 (also without "Stichtelyke Rymen"); Van Eeghen-Van der Kellen 165, nos. 991-1016; Scheurleer, Liedboeken , 92; Praz pp. 379-380.

WADSWORTH, Benjamin
Publick Worship
|
1704 1704 - WADSWORTH, Benjamin. Publick Worship a Christian Duty. In Two Sermons, from Heb. 10.25. Now or Never, The Time to Be Saved. In One Sermon, from Heb. 3.7,8. Boston: Printed by B. Green for E. Phillips, 1704. 16mo, contemporary full brown calf over wooden boards; pp. 84 (of 92+). Housed in a custom clamshell box. $2400. Exceedingly scarce first edition—bibliographers report only one other copy—of these sermons on worship and conversion by one of early 18th-century New England's most prominent preachers and the future president of Harvard, in contemporary binding. Both this and the only other known copy are imperfect. The Reverend Wadsworth was pastor of the First Church of Boston, founded by John Winthrop in 1630 and at the turn of the 18th century "considered one of the most important positions in New England Wadsworth was considered religiously moderate. His sermons were popular with his congregation, and he remained Pastor at the First Church for over thirty years" (Harvard Library). He later served as Harvard College's eighth president. The second-oldest building on Harvard's campus bears Wadsworth's name; the residence served as General George Washington's first headquarters in 1775. In these sermons, Wadsworth enjoins upon his hearers the responsibility of observing the Christian Sabbath by attending public worship (at least twice; for "how often we should meet on the Lords day for publick worship, whether twice or thrice, or more or less, is not expressly commanded in the Scripture "). Wadsworth also exemplifies the Reformed theological understanding of "scriptural warrant" as he delineates the elements of public worship as those expressly mentioned in the pages of the Bible. Appropriately, given his future service to Harvard, Wadsworth reflects on the importance of education—"There can be no true devotion, or worship acceptable to God, without solid substantial knowledge"—and also makes an impassioned plea for conversion: "Don't stand all the day idle. Art thou diligent about bodily concerns, and idle about spiritual ones? How shameful, how unreasonable is this?" Wadsworth's sermons thus represent Reformed preaching's hallmark emphases of instruction and exhortation. Originally the work ran at least 92 pages; the pagination in this copy runs (not continously) through page 104, and Shipton & Mooney report, "The only copy located is imperfect." Evans 1197. Early owner signatures and poetic inscriptions. Collector's small ticket. Text block split. Interior with mild embrowning, light chipping to edges (minor loss to last two leaves); without leaves A3-4, E2-5, I5-6 (i.e., pages at the conclusion to the preface and near the beginning of "Publick Worship," near the conclusion of "Publick Worship" and near the beginning and the conclusion of "Now or Never"). Expected age-wear to original American binding. Exceedingly scarce, with only one other copy reported by bibliographers. [Attributes: First Edition]

Alten Stettin, Dahl, 1704. - Erweiterte Neufassung des Erstlingswerkes (erschienen 1685) unter anderem Titel, ebenso selten wie die Erstausgabe. Männling (1658-1723), in Schlesien geboren, mußte unter dem Druck der Gegenreformation seine Heimat verlassen und lebte bis zu seinem Tod in Stargard in Pommern. Die seinerzeit gerühmten Schuldramen für das Stargarder Groeningianum sind bedauerlicherweise verschollen. „Als Kirchenlieddichter erfreute er sich eines bedeutenden Rufes unter den Zeitgenossen, und manchen seiner Lieder blieb ein fester Platz in den Gesangbüchern späterer Jahrhunderte bewahrt" (Dünnhaupt). Als glühender Verehrer Lohensteins hat Männling 1708 eine Sammlung mit Auszügen aus dessen „Arminius" herausgegeben, bestimmt für Leser, die „den großen Arminium zu erkauffen nicht vermögend" sind. Dieses Handbuch der Poetik, noch in seiner Wittenberger Studienzeit verfaßt, entstand unter unmittelbarem Einfluß von Philipp von Zesen; in dieser Auflage lehnte Männling den Titel an eine Poetik Zesens an. – Schönes Exemplar. – Dünnhaupt 1.2.

Wichtige historische Quelle zur franzosischen Geschichte wahrend der Herrschaft von Ludwig XIV. Die einschlagigen Bibliographien (Angaben nicht einheitlich) lassen vermuten, dass unser Exemplar (erwahnt bei Haller V,1588) eine Sonderausgabe aus den insgesamt 48 Briefen darstellt, die 1703-11 u.d.T. 'Lettres d'un Suisse a un Francais, ou l'on voit les veritables interets des princes et des nations de l'Europe qui sont en guerre, et divers memoires et actes...' einmal in 4 und einmal in 12 erschienen sind (Hoefer XXVIII,506). Es enthalt 21 Briefe sowie ein 'Lettre du Roy au Pape, contenant les motifs de la guerre de Savoye'. Es ist hervorzuheben, dass gerade dieser Teil ins Deutsche im gleichen Jahr ubersetzt und herausgegeben wurde (vgl. Holzmann/Bohatta IV,1466). Eine Beurteilung dieser Quelle fasst Querard folgendermassen zusammen: "Ces lettres sont tres-bien ecrites, avec beaucoup de finesse, et sur de bons memoires; elles avaient pour but de detacher de la coalition les allies de l'Empereur, en montrant que ce prince avait seul interet a continuer la guerre contre la France et l'Espagne". - Jean de La Chapelle, litterateur francais, successivment receveur-general des finances a La Rochelle, secretaire de commandements du prince de Conti et membre de l'Academie francaise. Haller V/1588; Barbier II/1243e und 1167a; Hoefer XXVIII/505ff.; Querard IV/360; Holzmann-Bohatta IV/1466; Weller II/70.

CLARENDON, Edward, Earl of
History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England
|
1704 1704 - CLARENDON, Earl of [HYDE, Edward]. The History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England, Begun in the Year 1641. With the precedent Passages, and Actions, that contributed thereunto, and the happy End, and Conclusion thereof by the King's blessed Restoration. Oxford: Printed at the Theater, [1702]-04. Three volumes. Tall folio (10 by 15-1/2 inches), contemporary full gilt-stamped paneled brown calf rebacked in period-style and recornered, raised bands, red and green morocco spine labels. $4200. First edition, with second issue title pages (uniformly dated 1704), of this "broad and lucid" history of the "Puritan Revolution," the struggle between a king who claimed to rule by divine right and a Parliament that professed to have rights independent of the crown. Each volume with half title, engraved frontispiece portrait and vignette title page. "Since its publication at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Earl of Clarendon's history of the English Civil War has remained one of the most important sources for our understanding of the events which changed the course of British history [It] chronicles in absorbing detail the intrigues and upheavals, the alliances and confrontations, the triumphs and the tragedies, of the 1640s and 1650s. In elegant and vital prose it brings to life the personalities who shaped the era, and the principles for which a nation was divided" (Oxford University Press). The Civil War has also been called the "Puritan Revolution," because the religious complexion of the king's opponents was prevailingly Puritan, and because the issue was between a king's claim of divine right and a Parliament that professed to have rights independent of the crown. Clarendon's is "the most valuable of all the contemporary accounts of the Civil Wars His characters are not simply bundles of characteristics, but consistent and full of life, sketched sometimes with affection, sometimes with light humor" (DNB). The Wars' religious consequence was the end of the Church of England's monopoly on Christian worship, with the consolidation of the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland. The political consequence was the establishment of the Commonwealth and Protectorate. Printed at the Oxford University Press between 1702-04, "the titles of some copies of this first edition are uniformly dated 1704" (Lowndes), as is this set. Brunet II, 81. Graesse II, 191. Lowndes 467. Owner signatures on title pages, occasional pencil annotation, evidence of bookplate removal. Text generally very clean, expert paper repairs to bottom gutter of first six gatherings of Volume II, moderate rubbing and abrading to contemporary paneled calf boards, very handsomely rebacked. A near-fine copy. [Attributes: First Edition]

Leipzig und Breslau, Bauch, 1704. - Einzige Gesamtausgabe des poetischen Œuvres des schlesischen Dichters (1646-1699) mit wichtigen biographischen Mitteilungen von Christian Gryphius im 80seitigen "Ehren-Gedächtniß". Nach Studien in Leiden und Straßburg hatte Abschatz die Verwaltung seiner ererbten Güter übernommen und war Abgeordneter im schlesischen Fürstentag. Seine "Dichtungen sind als Produkte poetischer Nebenstunden des vielseitigen Politikers und Landwirtschaftlers anzusehen, den schon früh eine enge Freundschaft mit dem Dichter Lohenstein verband. Literarische Prominenz erlangte A. jedoch erst mit der Veröffentlichung der Übertragung von Guarinis 'Pator fido'. Seine deutschen Gedichte sind eine unmittelbare Fortsetzung der lateinischen Dichtweise. Das verbindet ihn mit Opitz; denn er bemüht sich, seine persönlichen Gefühle nicht mehr mit dem altbewährten Formenschatz auszudrücken" (R. Newald). "Zum Zeitpunkt seines plötzlichen Ablebens in Liegnitz lag alleine diese Übersetzung als Privatdruck in kleiner Auflage vor, und erst fünf Jahre darauf konnte durch die editorische Initiative von Christian Gryphius die erste und einzige Gesamtausgabe (seiner Werke) erscheinen" (Dünnhaupt). Christian Gryphius (1649-1706), war schlesischer Dichter und Sohn von Andreas Gryphius. Die Wertschätzung von Abschatz' Übersetzungen bei seinen Zeitgenossen wie auch die von seinen eigenen, oft volkstümlichen schlichten Gedichten und Sprüchen zeigt, daß seine Dichtungen handschriftlich verbreitet gewesen sein müssen. Das ausführliche "Ehren-Gedächtniß" u. a. mit schönen Lobgedichten von Knorr von Rosenroth, von Kreckwitz, Kottwitz u. a. Der Band enthält: "Ehren-Gedächtniß" (von Christian Gryphius), "Der . treue Schäffer", "A. Adimari . Scherz-Sonnette oder Kling-Gedichte", "Anemonis und Adonis Blumen", "Glückwünschungen" (mit Leichen-Gedichte, Ehren-Gedichte, Vermischte Gedichte) und "Himmel-Schlüssel". – Exlibris. Aus der Bibliothek Aug. Heinrich Hoffmann v. Fallersleben (Stempel auf der Titelrückseite) und Friedrich Wilh. Pfeiffer, Breslau (mehrere kl. Stempel). Gutes Exemplar. – Dünnhaupt 6. Goed.

Dresden, Johann Jacob Winckler, 1704. - Seltene erste deutsche Übersetzung einer der berühmtesten Utopien des 17. Jahrhunderts, der ersten ausgesprochen anarchistischen Utopie, erstmalig 1676 veröffentlicht, dann vielfach nachgedruckt und übersetzt. "Sein Australien ist sozialkritisches Gegenbild zum calvinistisch-republikanischen und katholisch-monarchischen Europa . Foignys Bekenntnis zum Recht auf absolute Freiheit eines jeden Menschen ist ohne Zweifel eine Vorwegnahme der Gedanken der Natur- und Menschenrechtler des 18. Jh.s" (Winter). Foigny (1650-1692) war ein ehemaliger Mönch, der wegen einiger Skandale nach Genf hatte fliehen müssen. Auf seiner imaginären Abenteuerreise wird Sadeur zweimal entführt und erleidet viermal Schiffbruch, bis ihn ein geflügeltes Riesenmonster an Land fallen lässt. Dort begegnet er den Hermaphroditen, biologisch und geistig gesehen Übermenschen, die durch ihre Zweigeschlechtlichkeit, d. h. Asexualität und damit die Abwesenheit von animalischen Trieben, die Unzulänglichkeiten und Fehler der europäischen Gesellschaft überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen können. "Foignys Hermaphroditen sind das vollständig tugendhafte Gegenbild zum biologisch und geistig unvollkommenen Europäer . 'Wir sind ganze Menschen. Weil wir leben, ohne eine von diesen animalischen Leidenschaften füreinander zu empfinden ? wir können nicht einmal ohne Grausen davon sprechen ? hat unsere Liebe nichts Fleischliches, nichts Brutales. Wir sind uns vollkommen selbst genug, und wir brauchen nichts, um glücklich zu sein'" (Winter). Das Buch wurde vom hohen Rat in Genf verdammt. ? Kaum fleckig. ? Winter 104. Brüggemann, Utopie u. Robinsonade S. 162 ff (ausführl.). Graesse VI 1, 212. Nicht bei Fromm. * Scarce first German edition of one of the best utopian accounts of the 17th century. Foigny's Australia is, in opposition to Calvinist Europe, a place of absolute freedom, his hermaphrodites are perfect beings without brute passions. With engraved frontispiece. ? Spotted throughout. In contemporary vellum (stained).
