First title page in red and black; heraldic woodcuts on second and third titles devices initials and text diagrams throughout. Final leaf with large woodcut of Saint Catherine on colophon is in facsimile on contemporary paper. Old vellum new endpapers; occasional stains and a few wormholes. This edition of Aristotle’s scientific works on the motion of heavenly bodies his physics meteorology on the process of birth and generation and on the soul of man was brought together by Johann Eck 1486-1543 and here first printed in Augsburg by Grimm and Wirsung. This is also the first time the beautiful heraldic woodcuts were used. Research suggests that the artist could be Hans Burgkmair who worked in Augsburg at the time the book was printed. Another source indicates the woodcuts could be by the “Petrarca-Master†or that Books 2 and 3 were done by Hans Weiditz.<br /> <br /> See F.

Usually attributed to Aristotle it is now thought to be the work of the peripatetic scholar and pupil of Aristotle Theophrastus.''As the author states at the end of the treatise it is intended rather to supply data for a detailed examination into the scientific theory of colour than to expound a complete thesis. He has realized that the development of colour in animals and plants depends to some extent on heat and he seems to suggest that heat and moisture are the controlling factors. It is of more value as a collection of observed facts than for any theory of the origin and development of colour in physical life'' Aristotle Minor Works Cambridge and London Loeb Classical Library 1936 p. 3.With some spotting on the title-page and some marginal tears not approaching the text but otherwise in very good condition and with large margins.

Greek-Latin parallel-text. 8 831 1 pp. <br/><br/><em>The very rare first edition of Julius Pace's seminal "Organon"-edition which was the standard-edition of the logical texts of Aristotle throughout more than a century running through at least 11 editions before 1624. Pace's version of the text in Greek-Latin parallels and with Pace's inspired commentaries and interpretations profoundly influenced Renaissance thought determining the course of the Organon-interpretation throughout this period and inspiring much original philosophical thought. Pace's interpretation of Aristotle's logical works - arguably the most influential collection of works in the history of Western thought - not only changed the face of Renaissance thought it has remained the authoritative reading of Aristotle's "Organon" to this day and is still considered the most important and authoritative reading of the texts. As Ross puts it in the Preface to his translation of the logical works the standard Oxford-edition: "My chief authority in matters of interpretation has been Pacius". "The Works of Aristotle Translated into English Under the Editorship of W.D. Ross. Volume I". Oxford University Press. To this day a proper study of Aristotle's "Organon" - and Porphyrios' "Isagoge" - is still unthinkable without references to Pace his rendering of the text and his interpretations of it. The famous "Porphyrian Tree" or "arbor porphyriana" which has gone down in history as a standard presentation of the basis of Aristotle's thought was presented by Porphyrios in his "Isagoge" which since Antiquity has accompanied Aristotle's "Ornanon" as an introduction thereof. The standard presentation of this tree is that of Pace in the present edition on p. 9. It is that rendering of it with occasional slight alterations which has remained standard ever since 1584. That which we ever since Antiquity have called the "Organon" comprises the logical works of Aristotle: 1. Categories 2. On Interpretation 3. Prior Analytics 4. Posterior Analytics 5. Topics 6. On Sophistical Refutations - which ever since late Antiquity/early Middle Ages have been accompanied by Porphyrios' 233/34-ca.310 "Isagoge" his introduction to Aristotle's "Categories". During the Renaissance all editions of Aristotle's "Organon" also comprised Porphyrios' "Isagoge" which was seen as necessary for the understanding of Aristotle's logic. Aristotle's logic has played a seminal role in the history of Western thought. No other collection of writings has had an impact on the history of philosophy that comes close to the "Organon" an impact that remains pivotal to this day. "Aristotle's logic especially his theory of the syllogism has had an unparalleled influence on the history of Western thought." SEP.From Antiquity the earlier middle ages had inherited Boethius' translation of the two first treatises of Aristotle's "Organon" along with Porphyrios' "Isagoge". These works formed the basis for logical study and teaching until the end of the 11th century. Only during the 12th and 13th centuries were Aristotle's writings - along with those of the Arabic and some of the Greek commentators - translated into Latin. When the medieval universities reached their full development during the thirteenth century Aristotle's works were adapted as the standard textbooks for all philosophical disciplines - thus modern terms for many philosophical and scientific disciplines correspond to the titles of Aristotle's works e.g. Ethics Physics Metaphysics. Through Aristotle's works the West thus acquired not only the specific problems and ideas that were being dealt with at the universities but also the terminology used to describe and discuss them and the systematic framework within which all relevant problems should and could be treated. But come the Renaissance we see a clear change in the use of Aristotle's works. We here witness something other than a mere continuation of the late medieval Aristotelianism. The Humanists began supplying new translations of Aristotle's works and translated all the Greek commentators of Aristotle many of them for the first time. And thus a tendency to emphasize the original Greek Aristotle developed a tendency that became pivotal for the development of modern thought - the development of modern science and modern philosophy is inextricably linked with the Renaissance Humanist editions of Aristotle's works in Greek with Latin parallel-text. The "Organon" Aristotle's seminal logical writings occupies a central position within the Aristotelian body of writing and thus within the development of Western thought. Certain Humanist versions of the Greek text and the Latin translations as well as the interpretations of them thus came to play a seminal role in the trajectory of Renaissance and modern though Pace's "Organon"-edition presumably being THE most important and influential edition ever to have appeared. "The medieval traditions of logical writing survived well into the sixteenth century particularly at Paris and at the Spanish universities though with considerable internal changes. Treatises on sophisms and on proofs of terms ceased to be written; whereas there was a sudden flurry of activity concerned with the various divisions of terms and with the opposition of propositions i.e. the logical relations between different kinds of categorical proposition. These internal changes were not however sufficient to keep the tradition alive and after about 1530 not only did new writing on the specifically medieval contributions to logic cease but the publication of medieval logicians virtually ceased. The main exceptions were the logical commentaries by or attributed to such authors as Thomas Aquinas and John Duns Scotus which found a place in their "Opera Omnia" and which benefited from a revived interest in the great medieval metaphysicians.The main changes in the teaching and writing of logic during the sixteenth century were due to the impact of humanism. First commentaries on Aristotle came to display a totally new style of writing. One reason for this was the influence of new translations of Aristotle and new attitudes to the Greek text. Another reason was the publication of the Greek commentators on Aristotle's logic Alexander Themistius Ammonius Philoponus and Simplicius. A third reason was the new emphasis on Averroes which expressed itself in the great Aristotle-Averroes edition of 1550-1552. The effects of these new factors can be seen in the commentaries on individual works of the "Organon" by such Italians as Agostino Nifo 1473-1546 and Jacopo Zabarella 1533-1589 the latter of whom offered a particularly influential account of scientific method. They can also be seen in the "Organon" edition of Giulio Pace 1550-1635 which was first published in 1584 and contained the Greek text side-by-side with a new translation which was designed not only to read well but also to capture the philosophical significance of Aristotle's words." Raul Corazzon "History of Renaissance and Modern Logic from 1400 to Stuart Mill"."No editor better understood the nature of this Treatise of Aristotle than Julius Pacius who was the preceptor of Casaubon and profoundedly skilled in all the arcane of the Peripatetic philosophy in both the Greek and Latin tongues." Dibdin I: 318Giulio Pace of Beriga or Julius Pace/Pacius 1550 - 1635 was a famous Italian Aristotelian scholar and jurist. He was born in Vicenza and studied law and philosophy in Padua. He was inspired by the Reformation and put on trial by the Inquisition. Therefore he had to flee Italy and escaped first to Geneva thereafter to Germany. While in Heidelberg he converted to Protestantism. He was highly respected as an academic and was widely known for his deep knowledge and understanding of Aristotle whom he became famous for translating. He was elected public professor in Geneva where he taught for ten years 1575-1585. The next ten years he spent teaching law at the University of Heidelberg where he got into different conflicts especially with the philosophical faculty for giving private tuition in the controversial Ramist logic. After Heidelberg he taught at different universities throughout Europe where he was especially well known for his 1584-edition of Aristotle's "Organon" which played a definitive role in Aristotle-scholarship and philosophy in general throughout all of Europe.Dibdin I:318; Adams A:1866. </em> hardcover
1501300661501. Problemata Alexandri Aphrodisei. Problemata Plutarchi cum gratia. - Venetiis Per Bonetum Locatellum 1501 Folio 304 x 210 mm 22 296 fl. double colum gothic letters woodcut initials printer device fine full leather binding. A broad marginated clean and well preserved copy of this beautifully volume printed on strong paper. The greatest scientific name after Hippocrates is that of Aristotle 384-322 B.C. who gave the medicine the beginnings of botany zoology comparative anatomy embryology teratology and physiology and use of formal logic as an instrument of precision. Aristotle a pupil of Plato and at one time tutor to Alexander the Great had a profound influence in determining the direction of medical and biological thought; perhaps no other man has so dominated and advanced science as a whole.The Aristotelian Problemata enjoyed considerable popularity in the Middle Ages especially its book IV dealing with sexual intercourse and generation which adapted in such manner that it became a kind of pornographic publication. Petrus de Abano 1250-1315 was one of the most illustrious and influential men of his time and probably the most influential medical writer of the later middle age. A native of Apano near Padua from which he takes his name he took his degree in Paris and his cures were so remarkable that he was able to obtain the highest fees of any physicians of his time. He was called the Consiliator because of his remarkable book published during his residence in the Paris University. He was consulted by such man as Pope Honorius IV and was in great demand for lectures consultation and teaching. Dante was among his pupils. Abano believed that air has weight that brain is the source of the nervous system and the heart the source of the blood vessels- novel ideas that were not validated for centuries. He was the first to acquaint the West with the Problemata from Aritotle`s school to which he wrote the present commentary. For his heretical and outspoken views he was several times accused of heresy. Later he was suspected of magic and persecuted on that account during the Inquisition. Dying before his trial his body was taken out and burned in the public square. The medical science of the scholastic was a part of the universitas litterarum the scholastic physicians were philosophers. The methods of thought had been prescribed by Aristotle and the learned man of Arab. "Petrus spent some time in Constantinople probably before 1293; during his stay found a copy of the Problems of Aristotle.he translated them into Latin for the first time. He began a commentary on these problems while in Paris and completed it at Padua in 1310.His experience and activity represents a landmark in the history of scientific humanism." -Sarton III 439 "Prefatory note by Domenico Massaria.

1525133419Venetiis: Octaviani Scoticiuis 1525. Rare early 16th century Venetian printing of Aristotle's pioneering work on zoology which had a powerful influence on zoology for over two thousand years. Folio bound in full vellum illustrated with woodcut initials. In very good condition. Deaccessioned from the Harvard College Library with their stamps and bookplate. Written in the fourth century B.C.E. Aristotle's History of Animals had a powerful influence on zoology for some two thousand years. Generally seen as a pioneering work of zoology Aristotle frames his text by explaining that he is investigating the what the existing facts about animals prior to establishing the why the causes of these characteristics. The book is thus an attempt to apply philosophy to part of the natural world. Throughout the work Aristotle seeks to identify differences both between individuals and between groups. The work contains many accurate eye-witness observations in particular of the marine biology around the island of Lesbos such as that the octopus had color-changing abilities and a sperm-transferring tentacle that the young of a dogfish grow inside their mother's body and that the male river catfish guards the eggs after the female has left. Some of these were long considered fanciful before being rediscovered in the nineteenth century. It continued to be a primary source of knowledge until in the sixteenth century zoologists including Conrad Gessner all influenced by Aristotle wrote their own studies of the subject.

1531133411Parisiis: Petri Vidouei 1531. Rare 16th century French printing of Aristotle's third book of logic. Folio bound in full vellum elaborate woodcut vignette-border title-page illustrated with numerous in-text woodcut diagrams and woodcut initials. Ownership inscriptions including that of American philosopher Allan Gotthelf. Gotthelf received many honors for his work on Aristotle including in 2004 an international conference on "Aristotle on Being Nature and Life" held "in celebration of his contributions to the study of classical philosophy and science." In very good condition with some dampstaining and period marginalia throughout. Being one of the six extant Aristotelian writings on logic and scientific method The Prior Analytics was first composed around 350 BCE. The work represents the first formal study of logic where logic is understood as the study of arguments. In the Prior Analytics Aristotle identifies valid and invalid forms of arguments called syllogisms. A syllogism is an argument that consists of at least three sentences: at least two premises and a conclusion. Although Aristotle does not call them "categorical sentences" tradition does; he deals with them briefly in the Analytics and more extensively in On Interpretation. In the sixth century Boethius composed the first known Latin translation of the Prior Analytics. No Westerner between Boethius and Bernard of Utrecht is known to have read it. Petri Vidouei hardcover
1598138658London: Adam Islip 1598. Rare first edition in English of one of the world’s most important and influential political texts “the most valuable work on that branch of philosophy that has descended to us from antiquity.†Small folio bound in full leather gilt titles and tooling to the spine front and rear panels. In near fine condition bookplate small name to the title page small paper repair to the first few pages. First editions are exceptionally rare. Aristotle’s Politics written circa 350 B.C. “is the most valuable work on that branch of philosophy that has descended to us from antiquity†McCulloch 356. It marks “a genuine attempt at political science. Aristotle shows the ways in which oligarchies fall and the variety of situations that may follow. He goes through the likely causes of revolution. He is conscious of classes and their interests†Levi 403. The work embodies “theories of perennial value and refutations of fallacies which are always re-emerging†Hazlitt 36. Aristotle’s history of mature Athenian democracy and the development of that city-state’s constitution greatly influenced modern political philosophy. Politics had a particularly profound effect on the formation of the United States government: Jefferson had a copy of LeRoy’s French translation in his library Sowerby 2347 and many of the basic tenets of the U.S. Constitution derive directly from Aristotle making him in some sense “the father of modern democracy†PMM 94.
