155195873Venice: per Bartholomeo detto l'Imperador & Francesco suo genero 1551. Early Venetian edition of Bernardo Segni's translation of Aristotle's poems and rhetoric. Small octavo bound in full 19th century calf gilt titles and tooling to the spine morocco spine labels gilt ruled gilt turn-ins all edges gilt marbled endpapers. From the library of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century Dr. Thomas C. Oden. Regarded as the founder of the paleo-orthodox movement Oden taught with a mission "to prepare the postmodern Christian community for its third millennium by returning again to the careful study and respectful following of the central tradition of classical Christianity." In very good condition. A unique association. Based on an analysis of Homer's epic of the Trojan war The Illiad Aristotle determined that poetry sought universal truths while history strove to explain the particular. From this Aristotle concluded poetry was superior to history. Aristotelian theorists of the Renaissance agreed on two basic principles: first that the poem had to have been written several centuries ago and second that the historical events narrated in the poem did not need to be exact but only to approximate reality. Therefore the author of an epic had more freedom of fantasy than an historian. per Bartholomeo detto l'Imperador & Francesco suo genero unknown books

Translated into English from the original Greek with introduction notes critical biography and analysis by Scottish historian John Gillies. Commonly called The Nicomachean Ethics or The Ethics to Nicomachus after Aristotle's son the Ethics are here simply called Ethics.

Small stamp on the verso of the title. A strip of the blank uppermargin of the title torn off without affecting the text. Some contemporary ink marginalia Note: The Greek scholar Aristotle 384-322 B.C. is one of the foremost names in the history of thought and perhaps the most influential of all who have ever written. His influence on Western science and culture is immense. Aristotle's treatise 'Nicomachean Ethics' is perhaps 'the greatest and most famous of all works on morals certainly the most notable exposition of Greek ethics. The title is derived from the name on Aristotle's son Nikomachos . It falls into ten books and its fundamental principle is the doctrine of the Mean according to which every virtue is a proper blend of two opposed and non-moral tendencies as courage of fear and daring and lies between two vices resulting from the exaggeration of one tendency or the other'. H.J. Rose 'A history of Greek literature' London 1965 p. 275/76 § This Heidelberg edition of 1560 is a reissue of an edition with the same title which was published in Paris in 1555 and edited by the French scholar Adrianus Turnebus Adrien Tournèbe 1512-1565 professor of Greek in that city and a specialist in Greek textual criticism. In the preface Adrianus Turnebus lectori to the 1555 edition repeated in this 1560 edition Turnebus declares that he edited the Nicomachean Ethics with the help of Pier Vettori's observations ex Petri Victorii observationibus and some very old manuscripts ex vetustis aliquot exemplaribus. He also realized that this Greek text should also be accessible to students of philosophy who knew only Latin. It was necessary therefore to correct and emend the Latin text. Because translators from Greek into Latin added always something of their own ideas to a translation de suo quaedam addentes or made the Latin text much longer by explaning paraphrases paraphrasibus Graeca explicantes it is not possible to bring the Latin translation into line with the original Greek text ut singula singulis responderent. To avoid an uneven division of the text and translation he thought it necessary to make a translation that connected the Latin translation to the Greek text Graeca & Latina coniungerentur. Adrianus Turnebus lectori page a2 recto & verso The Greek text of the edition of 1555 of Turnebus was based on the edition of 1547 which was published by the Italian scholar Pier Vettori in Florence Provenance: On the front pastedown a small name: 'Nagel'. § On the front flyleaf the ownership entry of: 'Daniel Walasser Giengensis'.

Occasional contemporary ink underlinings & annotations.Note: 'The influence of Aristotle 384-322 BC on Western intellectual life is immense so much so that once one begins to track it no field of inquiry can be identified that it would be safe to overlook. Aristotle laid the foundations for not one but two sciences logic and biology an achievement unmatched by any thinker before or since'. The Classical Tradition Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 70 For centuries his authority was so great that it prevented the further development of some of the sciences e.g. astronomy. A.E. Taylor who thought that the qualifications of Aristotle as a man of science have been much overrated argues that Aristotle's ascendancy over thought in certain areas biology astronomy is to be regretted on account of his physical doctrines. The early 17th century English philosopher Francis Bacon found the veneration for Aristotle one of the chief hindrances to the free development of natural science. A.E. Taylor 'Aristotle' N.Y. 1955 p. 61/62 Nevertheless the Phusikês akroaseôs or Naturalis auscultatio nowadays known as the Physics or Physica is one of the most important works of Aristotle. The title Physics is misleading to a modern reader 'as a matter of fact the ancient name for it is phusikês akrôasis' i.e. Lectures literally 'hearing' on Nature. It discusses not such laws as are generally studied by a modern physicist but rather the fundamental ideas of matter motion and so forth leading up to the famous conception of God as the ummoved mover of the whole'. H.J. Rose 'A History of Greek Literature London 1965 p. 274/75 § This 1596 edition of Aristotle's Physics was produced by the Italian Aristotelian scholar Julius Pacius a Berige or in Italian Giulio Pace de Beriga 1550-1635. He had protestant sympathies and had to flee to Geneva. He was an itinerant scholar he was professor in Geneva from 1575 to 1585. He taught law at the University of Heidelberg from 1585 to 1595. Later we find him teaching Greek and law at the Academy of Sedan the Universities of Nimes Leiden Grenoble Montpelliere Valence and finally at Padua. Pacius showed a humanist's concern for the accurate establishment of the Greek texts and their accurate translation into Latin. He was the editor translator and commentator of Aristotle's Organon 1584 1585 1591 1597 Wechel at Frankfurt 1598 1605 1617 1682 one of the most widely used editions of his time. His edition of the Phusikês akroaseôs of 1596 was repeated in 1608 and in 1629. Pacius who was a jurist too edited also the Corpus Juris which was reissued several times. J. Berriat-Saint-Prix 'Notice sur Julius Pacius a Beriga jurisconsulte et philosophe des XVIe et XVIIe siècles' Paris 1840; easier but much shorter Pacius' lemma in Wikipedia Provenance: Two bookplates and a small inscription on the front pastedown which belong together.

The inscription on the pastedown below these two bookplates explains it all: 'Skaenket Dansk Farmaceutforening Bibliotek af Hans Schlesch 8 III 1955'. This book was donated to the Library of the Danish Union of Pharmacists D.F. by Hans Schlesch in March 1955. Dr. Hans Schlesch 1891-1962 was a Danish malacologist and shell-collector of worldfame. He wrote numerous articles. § On the front flyleaf the name: 'G.L. Buhrke 1828'. § On the title the ownership inscription: 'Joannes Stille comparavi Brunsvigae anno 1644'.

The beautiful clear Greek text printed with the Latin translation below followed by the commentary by Tyrwhitt. First edition of the outstanding recension by Thomas Tyrwhitt 1730-1786. "His Poetics was the first modern edition of the text." Barker Graesse: "édition estimée".Brunet " Belle édition." "This is a very elegant and accurate edition containing the commentaries of Tyrwhitt as well as his version . The Greek text is formed on that of Winstanley but so carefully corrected as to leave not a single error unnoticed . The large paper copies of this volume form one of the most attractive ornaments of a classical collection. They are few in number and costly in price; being reserved by the Delegates of the University Press as presents for eminent characters. I understand that 34 copies have been already distributed . This edition has been several times reprinted at Oxford with only three alterations and those not important ones." Dibdin I 323 Rebacked original boards diced calf with Greek key in gilt; marbled endpapers. Old ink annotation to front free end paper quoting Dibden; owners name clipped. Large paper copy clean and bright. Aristotle's Poetics is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory in the West. This has been the traditional view for centuries. However recent work is now challenging whether Aristotle focuses on literary theory per se given that not one poem exists in the treatise or whether he focuses instead on dramatic musical theory that only has language as one of the elements. In it Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" a term which in Greek literally means "making" and in this context includes drama – comedy tragedy and the satyr play – as well as lyric poetry and epic poetry. They are similar in the fact that they are all imitations but different in the three ways that Aristotle describes: Differences in music rhythm harmony meter and melody. Difference of goodness in the characters. Difference in how the narrative is presented: telling a story or acting it out. In examining its "first principles" Aristotle finds two: 1 imitation and 2 genres and other concepts by which that of truth is applied/revealed in the poesis. His analysis of tragedy constitutes the core of the discussion. The work was lost to the Western world for a long time. It was available in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance only through a Latin translation of an Arabic version written by Averroes. TYRWHITT THOMAS 1730-1786 English classical scholar and critic was born in London on the 27th of March 1730 where he died on the 15th of August 1786. He was educated at Eton and Queen's College Oxford fellow of Merton 1755. In 1756 he was appointed under-secretary at war in 1762 clerk of the House of Commons. In 1768 he resigned his post and spent the remainder of his life in learned retirement. In 1784 he was elected a trustee of the British Museum to which he bequeathed a portion of his valuable library. His principal classical works are: Fragmenta Plutarchi II. inedita !773. from a Harleian MS. ; Dissertatio de Babrio 1776 containing some fables of Aesop hitherto unedited from a Bodleian MS.; the pseudo-Orphic De lapidibus 1781 which he assigned to the age of Constantius; Conjecturae in Strabonem 1783; Isaeus De Meneclis hereditate 1785; Aristotle's Poetica his most important work published after his death under the superintendence of Dr Burgess bishop of Salisbury in 1794. Special mention is due of his editions of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales 1775-1778; and of Poems supposed to liave been written at Bristol by Thomas Rowley and others in the Fifteenth Century 1777-1778 with an appendix to prove that the poems were all the work of Chatterton. In 1782 he published a Vindication of the Appendix in reply to the arguments of those who maintained the genuineness of the poems. While clerk of the House of Commons he edited Proceedings and Debates of the House of Commons 1620-1621 from the original MS. in the library of Queen's College Oxford and Henry Elsynge's 1598- 1654 The Manner of holding Parliaments in England. 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica Volume 27 Brunet 1:478; Graesse I214 ;Barker Oxford Univ.
