1770H443Braunschweig / Berlin: Buchhandlung des Waisenhauses / Christian Friedrich Voss 1770. First printing. Hardcover. Fair. First printings of two books bound together. 8vo 8 x 6.25 inches early or original half leather and patterned boards. Fair copy with ex-library marks wear and rubbing to binding rear board just about detached inch loss of leather to head of spine. Text of first volume tanned but free of marks but for embossed library stamp on title page of first volume second volume somewhat brighter. 8 189 1 pp; 8 87 1 pp 5 engraved plates plus elaborate engraved vignette on title page and engraved pictorial vignette as headpiece to p. 1 of text of second volume. Berengarius Turonensis is mainly in German with portions in German: Lessing examines the 11th-century theologian Berengar of Tours who challenged the orthodox doctrine of the real presence in the Eucharist. Lessing uses Berengar’s case to explore the limits of church authority and the tension between faith and reason essentially presenting Berengar as an early rational critic of dogma and a symbol of intellectual freedom within theology. “Wie die Alten den Tod gebildet†“How the Ancients Represented Death†1769 is an essay on classical art and symbolism. Lessing argues that the Greeks did not depict Death as a terrifying skeleton or monster but rather as a gentle sleeping youth—sometimes holding a torch turned downward—reflecting their view of death as peaceful rest rather than horror. The essay contrasts ancient serenity with modern fear and serves as a key example of Lessing’s aesthetic humanism. Both are rare in the trade and seldom come up for auction.

The manuscript was discovered in the ducal library at Wolfenbüttel by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing who published it together with a German translation and an extensive commentary by Christian Leiste. At a time when reliable German-language information on South America remained scarce the volume became one of the principal German sources on Brazil before the appearance of Humboldt's works.<br /> <p><p><br /> The author Pedro Cadena de Vilhasanti served as provedor-mor of the Royal Treasury in Brazil and is best known for his Relação diária do cerco da Bahia de 1638 one of the principal contemporary accounts of the Dutch siege of Salvador first published only in the twentieth century. Written for the Count-Duke of Olivares chief minister of the Spanish monarchy the present work reflects Cadena's direct experience of colonial administration and constitutes a detailed administrative economic and geographical survey of Portuguese Brazil during the period of Dutch expansion in northeastern South America. Proceeding systematically along the coast from the mouth of the Amazon southwards he describes the principal captaincies including Maranhão Pará Rio Grande Paraíba and Pernambuco recording settlements fortifications ports rivers and administrative divisions while providing extensive information on trade taxation sugar production shipbuilding resources and strategic infrastructure. Particular attention is given to exports of sugar tobacco cotton brazilwood and other commodities the revenues they generated the number of sugar mills in operation navigational conditions and the availability of timber suitable for the construction of large ocean-going vessels. The work preserves an unusually detailed snapshot of the economic and administrative structure of Portuguese Brazil in the early seventeenth century and offers a rare contemporary assessment of the colony's strategic and commercial value.<br /> <p><p><br /> The publication originated in Lessing's investigation into the origin of the name of the Amazon Marañón River. Misinterpreting the phrase "Marañón y Gran Pará" as referring to a Spanish captain rather than to a geographical designation he believed the manuscript provided evidence for the origin of the river's name and therefore arranged for its publication prefacing it with a substantial introduction. Although this interpretation was later shown to be mistaken Leiste sought to support Lessing's reading of "Marañón y Gran Pará" before ultimately supplementing the manuscript with additional material drawn from more authoritative sources particularly Dutch works on Brazil thereby providing a broader account of the colony's geography and history. His commentary reflects the growing German scholarly interest in South America during the late eighteenth century.<br /> <p><p><br /> Borba de Moraes regarded the volume as one of the most significant German publications on Brazil of the eighteenth century noting the scarcity of original German works on the subject during that period. The edition attracted sufficient attention to be reprinted with corrections and additional commentary in C. G. von Murr's Reisen einiger Missionarien der Gesellschaft Jesu in Amerika 1785.<br /> <p><p><br /> References: Borba de Moraes Bibliographia Brasiliana I pp. 141-142; Sabin 17830<br /> <p>. in der Buchhandlung des Fürstl.
