More or less well-known figures of a new generation which will help to profoundly change the face of a Church in the grip of an essentially political power struggle and bring it back to its primary spiritual and theological duties. Almost exactly contemporary the theologian born in 1624 and the nun Jacqueline Pascal one year his junior who died less than a month apart in 1661 have marked each in their own way the universe. in which they lived the Faculty of Theology for the first the world of the convent for the second. .

1688032445<p>London: Printed by Joseph Streater for sale by T Basset J Robinson B Aylmer Joh Southby And W Canning 1688 A very good copy of this important work on comparative anatomy with engraved title; rubricated title and 30 plates. The original publication had 2 separate parts both complete in themselves - the second section 'The Measure of the Earth' translated by Richard Waller is not present. Alexander Pitfeild undertook to translate this work originally led by Charles Perrault for the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris. Animals mostly from the royal menageries at Vincennes and Versailles were supplied to the Royal Academy for detailed study and dissection. The first publication including 13 species appeared in 1671 with a second volume 5 years later. The publications had very short print runs and were very expensive being elephant folio with detailed art work mainly by Sebastien Leclerc. There was a growing desire to learn about natural history and the nature of animals and copies of Perrault's work were almost impossible to obtain. Pitfeild's translation was much needed and it became the only work published on comparative anatomy in England between 1660 and 1700. Richard Waller undertook the illustrations copying Leclerc but reducing the size taking care to keep the drawings in proportion. The second part missing here was undertaken not because it was linked in any way but because it was important and of interest to the Royal Society. Copies of Pitfeild's translation are extremely scarce. This copy is in a new binding with cloth spine with title label and paper-covered boards. Contents: engraved title page; rubricated title page; permission for printing by the Royal Society with 2 ink reference numbers at the top; dedication; To The Reader 2pp; preface 9pp; text pp 1- 267 with 30 plates p 1 with small stamp to bottom margin; a few light ink spots to bottom side margins pp 48 & 49; small repaired edge tear bottom p141; alphabetical table of animal names with errata 2pp; index of anatomical matters 11pp; finis. Contents in very good clean condition. There is some staining which is mostly to the top outer page corners and varies in intensity. Occasional light marking elsewhere.

Occasional light dampstain at top gutter sometimes just encroaching beyond margin else a fine amply-margined copy.<br /> <br /> Second revised edition. "This edition contained few emendations but many important additions which based on various opinions prompted the author to reprint his version. He also changed three figures and added three plates one in Book VI and two in Book X. Although this work could have been further refined it nevertheless rightfully holds a prominent place among the Vitruvian versions and commentaries" Cicognara. Claude Perrault 1613-1688 was a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences and a doctor of medicine and anatomist in the faculty at Paris; he designed the Paris Observatory and participated in the design of the east façade of the Louvre. His published works are evidence of a polymathic mind encompassing architecture physics and natural history. Fowler ranks the present work among "the scholarly editions of Vitruvius Fowler. With engravings signed by: Sébastien Leclerc Jacques Grignon Georges Tournier Nicolas Pitau Gérard Edelinck Pieter Van Der Banck Gérard Scotin Jean Patigny Pierre Lepautre Etienne Gantrel.<br /> <br /> The military and civil engineer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio ca. 70-80 BCE - ca. 15 CE is the author of the only surviving ancient treatise on architecture arranged in ten books. By his own account Vitruvius served in the Roman army under the command of Julius Caesar. Rediscovered by the Florentine humanist Poggio Bracciolini 1380-1459 in the library of Saint Gall Abbey and publicized by Leon Battista Alberti 1404-1472 Vitruvius’ De Architectura would later define the canon of classical architecture. His assertion that structures should exhibit the three qualities of stability firmitatis utility utilitiatis and beauty venustatis became a commonplace in architectural theory. The wide-ranging program of De Architectura deals with “principles of buildings in general building materials designs of theatres temples and other public buildings town and country houses baths interior decoration and wall paintings clocks and dials astronomy mechanical and military engineering.†PMM. Throughout the Renaissance Vitruvius’ work provided inspiration for Michelangelo Leon Battista Alberti Donato Bramante Lorenzo Ghiberti Giacomo Vignola Andrea Palladio and many others. The first printed edition of De Architectura appeared at Rome ca. 1483-90; the first illustrated edition at Venice 1511.<br /> <br /> Provenance: Bookplate of Harold Douthit. Cf.
