Duodecimo contemporary calf with old reback retaining original boards with triple rules (one cover re-attached, later black gilt title label) [42] +661pp Titlepage in red and black, paper water marked I.B and Crown, entire text within ruled border. Blank first leaf is here missing, neat pencil note on back of titlepage Sandell & Smith 7/6/73, minor edge browning, bottom margin of Ff2 torn off with no loss of text, marginal ink stain to last 8 leaves. *Wither's translation of Nemisius' 4th century AD work on the Nature of Man. Here he explains the classical Greek view of nature, of philosopy, of mental processes & physiology. In an early passage on the circulation of blood he describes on pp409-10 the veins & arteries: "These.. accompany one another, and receive profit and assistance each from the other.. therefore it is not possible to finde either an artery altogether voide of a thin kinde of blood; or a veine without spirits", going on to the pumping of the heart and the opening and contracting of the arteries "it sucks and draws a thin kinde of blood, from the veines that are neare unto it." He tries to map mental faculties, feelings & sensory perception to parts of the ventricles of the human brain, the third being the region of man's intellect. An interesting fusion of Hellenistic thought & medical theory bent to integrate with Christian theology.

[Nicolaes van Ravesteyn] [Amsterdam] [ca. 1636] Contemporary vellum over boards (some soiling; minor cracking to front hinge but very sound) 4to . FIRST DUTCH EDITION of "Von dem dreifachen Leben des Menschen" dealing with the will and soul which is considered one of Jakob Böhme's major works (cf. New Schaff-Herzog, II, p. 210). The German edition first appeared in 1620. An important and rare edition of this work by the famous German mystic, Jakob Böhme (1575-1624), who lived as a master shoemaker while writing about his visions and spiritual revelations. Later in life he published a series of mystical works which had a great influence on later writers on free will, the human soul and division of mind and body. His influece on later English visionary writers is especially noteworthy. The present work, whose uniform Dutch title is "Hooge ende diepe Gronden van't drievoudigh leven des Menschen", was published without an imprint but Buddecke suggests that the work was printed in 1636 at Amsterdam by Nicolaes Ravesteyn. The OCLC locates only a copy at Yale and the present copy (Crozier-Colgate Library) in the United States and four additional copies in the Netherlands [8], 424 pp. With engraved title-page by S. Savery after P.v. Bon. Full-page woodcut diagram in text. Book plate of Crozer Theological Seminary (at Colgate: deaccessioned). Several gift inscriptions from the Wetherill family on front paste-down. Some light dampstains, minor handsoiling and foxing. § Buddecke 2, 17

Extremely rare set of typographical specimens from the printing office of the Congregation de propaganda fide COLLECTION of 12 exotic alphabets.
|
Rome, Vatican, Congregation de Propaganda Fide, ca. 1636-40. - Oblong 8vo (110x170mm). Contemporary plain vellum. All pages within double woodcut border lines. 12 lvs. (Collation: A-C4). Extremely rare original and complete set, published without a title-page, of a collection of 12 very interesting type specimens, printed at the Printing Office of the Congregation de Propaganda Fide at the Vatican. The collection drew on earlier Roman publications of a similar vein: it reprised for example material from Angelo Rocca's Variarum linguarum alphabeta et inventores (Rome 1595), Giacomo Bonaventure Scozese's Virga aurea (Rome 1616), and Athenasius Kircher' Prodromus Copticus sive Aegyptiacus (1636). The famous Jesuit Athenasius Kircher devoted half of his eighth chapter of his Prodromus - ostensibly concerned with the usefulness of Coptic - to an enigmatic inscription that had been discovered by Thomaso Obicini at the foot of Mt. Horeb in the Sinai. Although it did not pertain to Coptic or anything Egyptian, Kircher announced that he would be remiss not to discuss it. Kircher described how he brought to bear his philological expertise by trying to match the inscription's characters with three oriental languages, Hebrew, Samaritan, and Syriac. According to Kircher the inscription was written in a form of ancient Chaldean. It concerns our nr. 8.In the collection are three alphabets of Adam, the first from the Vatican Library, the second by Giacomo Bonaventura Scozese, the third by Lorenzo Schrader; 4 Hebrew alphabets, the first 'detto soprasilvio', the second 'detto testo', the third designed by Garamond and the fourth Rabbinic by Garamond, the above mentioned script discovered by Tomaso da Novara at the foot of Mont Horeb, an analysis of the same by Athanasius Kircher, Samaritan and Estrangelo alphabets, and a Chaldean alphabet. Established in 1626 for the propaganda of the Catholic faith among the Eastern peoples, the 'Propaganda fide', has published many texts in exotic, oriental alphabets. This publication shows the different types the printing office could use:(1) Alfabeto del protoparente Adamo I. delineato nella libraria Vaticana.(2) Alfabeto II. di Adamo secondo che riferisce il P. Giacomo Bonavent. Scozese dell'Ordine di S. Francesco di Paolo nel suo alfabetario intitolato Virga Aurea.(3) Alfabeto III. di Adamo cavato dal libro di Lorenzo Schradero stampato in Helmstatt l'anno 1592.(4) Alfabeto Hebreo detto soprasilvio.(5) Alfabeto Hebreo detto testo.(6) Alfabeto Hebreo detto Garamone.(7) Alfabeto Hebreo Rabbinico detto Garamone.(8) Lettere cavata dal P. Tomaso da Navara che si trovano sculpite in una pietra piccola posta à piedi del monte Oreb, dove Dio N.S. diede la legge.(9) Analysi dell'antecedente carattere, conforme alla dispositione del P. Atanasio Kircher nel prodromo Copto, approvata da'molti.(10) Alfabeto Samaritano, detto testo.(11) Alfabeto estranghelo, overo Chaldeo antico, detto testo.(12) Alfabeto Chaldeo, overo Siro detto, di due righe di Silvio.
