Venice: Appresso I Gioliti, 1589. Quarto (208 x 144 mm). 18th-century vellum over paste paper boards, spine lettered gilt, blue green edges. Engraved bookplate of Franz Pollack Parnau to front pastedown, with his armorial stamp to title verso. Occasional contemporary marginal markings and "finis" added to the end of most books in ink. Occasional light spotting, more severe in places; a very good copy. Woodcut initials, headpieces and tailpeices. First edition of a neglected masterpiece in the history of economics. Schumpeter writes: "Divested of nonessentials, the 'Malthusian' Principle of Population sprang fully developed from the brain of Botero in 1589: populations tend to increase, beyond any assignable limit, to the full extent made possible by human fecundity (the virtus generativa of the Latin translation); the means of subsistence, on the contrary, and the possibilities of increasing them (the virtus nutritiva) are definitely limited and therefore impose a limit on that increase, the only one there is; this limit asserts itself through want, which will induce people to refrain from marrying (Malthus's negative check, prudential check, 'moral restraint') unless numbers are periodically reduced by wars, pestilence, and so on (Malthus's positive check). This path-breaking performance - the only performance in the whole history of the theory of population to deserve any credit at all - came much before the time in which its message could have spread: it was practically lost in the populationist wave of the seventeenth century. But about two hundred years after Botero [1 … [Click Below for Full Description]

1589. Woodcut of Polo?s Cerberus device on title page, woodcut headpieces and initials, typographic ornaments. Italic and Roman type. 8vo (150 x 105mm). [40], 279, [1]ff. Modern vellum, spine with earlier label and gilt-lettered title, speckled edges (covers slightly bowed). Venice, Appresso Girolamo Polo, An attractive and uncommon later edition of the exceedingly popular La Zucca, or 'The Pumpkin', by churchman, poet, writer, artist, bibliographer, some-time publisher and editor Anton Francesco Doni (1513-74). First published in instalments starting in 1551, the 'Tavola per Sommario' by Doni here lists the variety to be found amongst its contents, including 'chitchat, frapperies, chimera, witticisms, rhymes, castles in the air, icy jests, scalding retorts, mind-bending riddles.'. Both whimsical and borne out of necessity - instalments came, in some cases, as and when Doni needed income - it is a frenetic and bitingly satirical collection of different genres in which mockery of his contemporaries and in particular the Church, was par for the course. It is in his address to readers that Doni elaborates on the metaphor of the pumpkin; 'questa mia zucca in scritto ha fatto come la zucca naturale, che in sei o otto giorni cresce interamente'. This edition was edited by Giovanni Capugnani, whose introduction, Anatomia sopra la Zucca del Doni provides a potted biography of the author. Provenance: Bookplate on front paste-down of 'Biblioteca Banzi', with handwritten shelf-mark, above the bookplate of Rosita Levy Pisetzky (1898-1985), Italian fashion historian.

Essa divenne ben presto il testo di riferimento per la costruzione delle fortezze a nord delle Alpi e lo rimase molto a lungo, fin tanto che non cambiarono le tecniche di guerra e di assedio. Il trattato fu ristampato nel 1599, 1608, 1705 e ancora nel 1756."Speckle writes his treatise from a strongly national motivation as is clear from his preface.

Nel breve indirizzo al "Benevolo Lettore', l'autore motiva così la decisione di pubblicare questo libro: da un lato la consapevolezza del suo sapere che gli ha consentito di scrivere un trattato di pura anatomia ("meram Anatomen"), avendo dissezionato un numero grandissimo di cadaveri (l'abitudine all'insegnamento lo porta anche a usare uno stile chiaro, facile e quasi umile); dall'altro lato il desiderio di difendere contro Riolanus[1] la dottrina di Giovanni Veslingius[2] (†1649), che nel 1644 lo aveva scelto come assistente e che egli stimava come uno dei … [Click Below for Full Description]

Occasional light spotting, more severe in places; a very good copy. First edition of a neglected masterpiece in the history of economics. Schumpeter writes: "Divested of nonessentials, the 'Malthusian' Principle of Population sprang fully developed from the brain of Botero in 1589: populations tend to increase, beyond any assignable limit, to the full extent made possible by human fecundity (the virtus generativa of the Latin translation); the means of subsistence, on the contrary, and the possibilities of increasing them (the virtus nutritiva) are definitely limited and therefore impose a limit on that increase, the only one there is; this limit asserts itself through want, which will induce people to refrain from marrying (Malthus's negative check, prudential check, 'moral restraint') unless numbers are periodically reduced by wars, pestilence, and so on (Malthus's positive check). This path-breaking performance - the only performance in the whole history of the theory of population to deserve any credit at all - came much before the time in which its message c … [Click Below for Full Description]

The first and very rare edition of this gastronomic burlesque work in praise of pork and sausage, dedicated by the Florentine printer Domenico Manzani to the Archconsul of the Accademia della Crusca, Pier Francesco Cambi. Grazzini was a member of the Accademia degli Umidi, which wanted to revive the Florentine tradition of burlesque poetry. In 1582, he was co-founder of the renowned Florentine Accademia della Crusca, adopting the nickname, or nome di Crusca, of 'Lasca'. The booklet was issued from the press of Domenico Manzani, mostly engaged by this Florentine academy, and well-known for the printing, in 1591, of the Commedia edited by the Crusca, the first modern critical edition of Dante's masterpiece. The Lezione contains the composition in verse Capitolo sopra la salciccia, supplemented with an extensive commentary. Grazzini celebrates here many different kinds of food, but comes to the conclusion that pork meat is the finest of all and that sausage is the most delicious part of the pork, preferable to any other. He then gives the recipe for sausage 'alla fiorentina' (in Florentine style), which, … [Click Below for Full Description]

1589. HUGE FOLIO edited by Famous CIPHER Vigenere "If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it!" - Julius Caesar A rare collection of civil war histories and Julius Caesar war commentaries by Blaise de Vigenere. Vigenere is most remembered for his cipher, called the 'Vigenere cipher', which was a method for encrypting text using a series of Caesar ciphers. Julius Caesar's war commentaries are some of the most prolific military writings! While not specifically known for his writing, Julius Caesar wrote this book which would become a mainstay in the Latin literature canon. It focuses on first-hand account of Julius Caesar in the Callic wars, but it was written as though from a third-person view. This book is incredibly illustrated with in-text engravings on wood depicting animals, city views, and maps as described by Julius Caesar. It also includes Pliny's 'Eloges de Cesar', 'Abregez de Flore by Florus, and 'Sommaire d'Eutrope' by Eutropius. [Attributes: First Edition]
