Perrault was the leader of a team of comparative anatomists that included Guichard Joseph Duverney Jean Pecquet Moyse Charas and Philippe de la Hire; they were often called the "Parisians" in contemporary literature because of their membership in the Académie Royale des Sciences. Their investigations began with a thresher shark and lion from the royal menagerie and went on to encompass forty-nine vertebrate species. "Although some of the discoveries on which the Parisians most prided themselves—including the nictitating membrane that Perrault first observed in a cassowary the external lobation of the kidneys in the bear and the castoreal glands of the beaver—had been observed earlier no such detailed and exact descriptions and illustrations had been published before" Dictionary of Scientific Biography. In the spirit of rationalism Perrault and his team investigated and debunked many popular myths attached to certain species such as the legend that salamanders live in fire or that chameleons subsist on air. They also recorded their methods of work along with their results providing the only contemporary disclosure of how such anatomical research was conducted in the seventeenth century.</p> <p> The Mémoires were originally issued in two parts in 1671 and 1676 as in our copy; they were later reissued in 1676 with slight changes as one volume with a new title-leaf. The two volumes of the Mémoires contain descriptions of twenty-nine species including the lion the chameleon the shark the lynx the porcupine the eagle the cormorant and the ostrich. Our copy was bound for presentation by Louis XIV patron of the Académie des Sciences; a significant portion of the edition was bound this way. </p> <p>Vol. I of our copy also includes the first edition of Jean-Félix Picard's Mesure de la terre 1671 which contains the first reasonably accurate calculation of the size of the Earth. Picard based his calculation on his measurements of a degree of latitude along the Paris meridian. Using sophisticated instruments Picard obtained a value for the Earth's polar radius of 6328.9 kilometers only 0.44% below the correct value of 6357 km.; his results were thirty to forty times more precise than any that had been obtained previously.

He then leaves Basel for Cluny while his family remained behind in penury and he does not return until 1499 when he retires ; this publication amongst the earliest for Basle is of the celebrated work of William of Auvergne ca. 1180-1271 : the Summa de Virtutibus or The Summation of Virtues the first of the famous two-part tract whose second part published separately treats of the vices. William was born in the former Province of Auvergne about 1180 and by 1223 he was master of theology at the University of Paris and a canon at Notre Dame. He was consecrated Bishop and given the See of Paris in 1228 by Pope Gregory IX and he remained there until his death in 1249. The Summa de Virtutibus et Viitis On the Virtues and Vices a massive work is itself part of a much larger work the Magisterium Divinale et Sapientiale The Teaching on God in the Mode of Wisdom. The style of the work is somewhat rambling moving off into many tangents as it explores related concepts and makes the work appear as an extemporaneous discourse often making a point and then immediately raising objections to that point which William then proceeds to refute. It was reprinted many times and was a monumental Dominican theological work. name variants for William of Auvergne: Guilelmus Peraldus Guillermus Parisiensis Guilielmus Peraldus Guilelmus Peraldus Guillaume Perrault Guilelmus Peraldus Willelmi de Peraldo Wilhelm Peraldus Guilelmus de Petra Alda Guillaume de Peyraud Ardeche G.

Matted framed and glazed 15 7/8 x 13 5/8 inches; 404 x 346 mm.<br/><br/>This wonderfully executed pen and ink drawing depicts the moment when Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf dressed up as her Grandmother. The wolf is in her Grandmother's bed and tells Little Red Riding Hood to "Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the bread-bin and come and lie down with me". Of course the rest is history !!<br/><br/>The wolf is dressed in a mop cap wearing glasses and hiding behind the curtains of the bed. Grandmother's slippers are sitting neatly on the floor by the bed and next to the bed there is a candle and a bowl on a small table. Little Riding Hood is dressed in her riding hood holding some flowers she has picked for her Grandmother and carrying a large basket with the pot of butter sticking out of it.<br/><br/>As always Rackham has created a moment in time - one which is universally recognized.<br/><br/>"Little Red Riding Hood" is a European fairy tale about a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf. Its origins can be traced back to the 10th century to several European folk tales including one from Italy called The False Grandmother Italian: La finta nonna later written among others by Italo Calvino in the Italian Folk Tales collection. The best known versions were written by Charles Perrault and then later by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Arthur Rackham chose the original Charles Perrault version.<br/><br/>The Moral of the Story. Children especially attractive well bred young ladies should never talk to strangers for if they should do so they may well provide dinner for a wolf. [Sussex]: , 1933 unknown books
426Fine woodcut vignette on title & five fine folding engraved plates. 120 pp. 4to fine antique calf spine nicely gilt. Paris: F. Leonard 1669. First edition of the second publication of the "Parisians" a famous group of anatomists in Paris; their publications mark the beginnings of modern comparative anatomy. "The constitution of the French Academy of Science in 1666 established a school of morphology to which the modern development of comparative anatomy may be directly traced.The longevity of the early Parisian anatomists was remarkable.Their leader was the veteran Claude Perrault.it was due mainly to his influence that a number of the early members of the French Academy who are often conveniently referred to in the literature of the period as the 'Parisians' laid the foundations of our modern knowledge of comparative anatomy."-Cole A History of Comparative Anatomy pp. 393-95 & see pp. 393-425. The leading members of the "Parisians" were beside Perrault Guichard Joseph Duverney Jean Pecquet Moyse Charas and Philippe de la Hire. "In June 1667 the Academy was invited to dissect a thresher shark and a lion which had died at the royal menagerie. The reports on these dissections were the first of a long series of anatomical descriptions which ultimately included those of twenty-five species of mammals seventeen birds five reptiles one amphibian and one fish. "Although some of the discoveries on which the Parisians most prided themselves - including the nictitating membrane that Perrault first observed in a cassowary the external lobation of the kidneys in the bear and the castoreal glands of the beaver - had been observed earlier no such detailed and exact descriptions and illustrations had been published before."-D.S.B.

Engraved portrait frontispiece of Claude Perrault in first volume. Contemporary French calf spines gilt edges red; some occasional browning; repairs to joints some rubbing. Unidentified armorial bookplate to front pastedown beneath monogrammed bookplate D.P. with chipmunk and two mice. A later reduced format edition of Perraults Memoires of 1671-1676 Perraults study of this nature was first published in 1669 with the results of investigations of five animals and later expanded with studies of over forty animals. Prior to 1670 most descriptions of animals paid little attention to their internal structure and there were very few images in natural history encyclopedias that depicted skeletons or muscles. That changed with the establishment of the Académie des Sciences in Paris in 1666 by Jean-Baptiste Colbert with the approval of King Louis XIV. The Academy functioned with neither statutes nor regulations until 1699. At that time the Academy used the term mathématique to encompass the fields that are now called astronomy mathematics and physics and the term physique to encompass the fields that are now called anatomy botany zoology and chemistry. In January 1699 Louis reorganized the Academy giving it first regulations. The effect was to give the King more control over their activities in exchange for becoming an official institution under his protection with the new name Académie Royale des Sciences. One of the original academicians the physician Claude Perrault organized regular sessions at which participants could dissect deceased animals from Louis XIVs royal menagerie and record all they observed. Lions chameleons bears gazelles wolves ostriches crocodiles monkeys eagles tigers porcupines and salamanders among some were all laid open by the academics scalpels. These superb folding plates record in great detail the pioneering work at the Academy. These three volumes in three parts focus on the transformative and foundational years of the French Royal Academy of Sciences and Claude Perraults efforts which had made comparative anatomy a vital tool for the classifying naturalist. <br/><br/> Par La Compagnie des Libraires hardcover books
