Sgc Graesse I 211; Brunet I 743: LC Jefferson; Oxford: BNF; Harvard; Wellcome. Aristotle's classical work on the history of animals was considered the most authoritative description of common animal life of centuries. Camus indicates errors based on 18th century knowledge but the translation shows Aristotle's remarkable familiarity with a wide range of genera. He includes detailed knowledge that could come from acute observation and dissection. Armand-Gaston Camus 1740-1804 the translator and editor was a lawyer and politician who was elected to the Etats generaux in 1789. On August 14th 1789 he was named archivist of the Assemblee constituante and founded the Archives nationales preserving documents concerning the French Revolution. He left politics to purse literary interest and became a member o L'Academie des inscriptions et belles lettres in 1785. The widow of printer Nicholas Desaint presided over the publishing firm from 1771-1808. Paris. Chez la Veuve Desaint, Librarire rue Du Foin S. Jacques. 1783 hardcover
1811Bv2442<p>First Edition. "Rhetoric is an art or faculty which upon every subject considers the capability of persuasion" 25. London: 1811JJ Stockdale. First Printing. A Dissertation upon Rhetoric" translated from the Greek of Aristotle by Daniel Michael Crimmin Esq. was published in London by J.J. Stockdale in 1811. This work is a translation of Aristotle's treatise on rhetoric a foundational text in the field. It was likely part of a larger effort to make classical Greek texts accessible to an English-speaking audience. Translator Daniel Michael Crimmin was a scholar with connections to Trinity College Dublin and the Middle Temple. London-based publisher J.J. Stockdale was well known for producing scholarly works. Aristotle's Rhetoric was classified with a few other works notably the Poetics as encheiridia i.e. handbooks providing foundational treatment of a subject essentially practical guides rather than abstract treatises. As such The Rhetoric in particular was widely circulated albeit in Latin and extensively cited. Rhetoric was of course useful in politics and law but it became increasingly embraced by theological educators. Persuasion is by means of the hearers whenever they are led on into passion by the speech for we do not render our judgments the same way when grieved as when delighted or when friendly as when hostile Sachs 2009. The "Dissertation upon Rhetoric" unravels the basic principles of the art of argumentation. Aristotle's Rhetoric is a cornerstone of Western rhetorical theory and this translation by Crimmin made The Rhetoric available to a wider audience in the early 19th century. This First Edition rarely appears in commerce or at auction making it a scarce item. Its absence from recent sales underscores its rarity often a desirable trait for collectors of classical works and early translations. Gilded spine with title in contemporary marbled calf. Some scuffing and fraying to front board. Light darkening to first 32 pages. Very scarce penciled underscoring of words in text. Hinges very firm. PO s small bookplate on front pastedown imprinted to first blank and tiny penciled signature. Text generally fresh and clean. An extremely good copy of a scarce text. Book #Bv2442 $500.

180228071<p>This 1802 English edition of the Works of Aristotle printed for the booksellers in London presents an intriguing example of early modern pseudo-Aristotelian literature. While ostensibly a collected edition of Aristotle's major texts the contents instead reflect a blend of philosophical fragments folk science and spurious additions—most notably the inclusion of Problemata physica a work long associated with Aristotle despite scholarly doubts regarding its authorship. The volume also features oddities including contemporary medical references such as commentary on infant deaths attributed to London's air quality clearly outside the purview of any authentic Aristotelian manuscript. This eclecticism typifies the genre of popular "Aristotle" books produced for lay audiences in 18th- and early 19th-century Anglo-American print culture. The copy offered here is complete in its 240 pages bound in period full leather and printed in New England in 1806 despite its London imprint. A fascinating artifact of both classical appropriation and vernacular medical publishing. Very Good condition: leather binding moderately rubbed with corners worn but intact and secure; pages with mild foxing and age toning; collated complete. Octavo 8vo single volume. Collation: 240p. No illustrations. Edition: 1802 printing. References: Placeholder. Item Number SKU: #28071. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.</p> printed for the booksellers hardcover

Short title in ink on the back. The folding plate shows a 'Synopsis libri Poeticae' Condition: Binding somewhat used. Vellum age-tanned. Vellum on the back slightly soiled. Front flyleaf removed 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 guided the further development of some of the sciences. From the 16th century to the age of Romanticism Aristotle's views developped in his 'De arte poetica' played a dominant role in the theory and practice of European literature especially of drama. And with Jacob Bernay's 'Grundzüge der verlorenen Abhandlung des Aristoteles über Wirkung der Tragödie' 1857 who rejected the moral Lessing and aesthetic Goethe tradition of 'catharsis' and who introduced the concept of the intentional arousal and discharge of emotions to the discussion Aristotle's description of the effect of tragedy as a 'catharsis' cleansing or purgation of tragic emotions pity and fear 'became the focus of a debate on the purposes of literature which attracts contributors up to the present day'. O.J. Schrier 'The Poetics of Aristotle and the Tractatus Coislinianus a Bibliography from about 900 till 1996' Leiden 1998 p. 1 Nietzsche Freud Wagner Wilamowitz-Moellendorff et 'multi alii' followed. Aristotle's 'De poetica liber' is 'the only piece of technical writing from antiquity that still plays a role in scholarly discourse. If Aristotle had confined himself to discussing Greek poetry from the viewpoint of its formal aspects or its historical development his work would still have been of eminent importance but only for classicists and historians of literature. He did more however laying bare what in his view are the fundamentals of poetry giving his criteria for distinguishing literary genres and pointing out along which lines he thought these and the works of individual poets should be evaluated. In pursuing these targets he formulated insights that have been thought to be applicable even to modern narrative genres like the detective story and the film. These aspects of the Poetics make it an interesting starting-point for discussions in wide areas of modern literary theory'. Idem Ibidem § This edition of 1696 is a revision of Goulston's 'De Poetica' edition of 1623. It was edited in 1696 by the English schoolmaster James Upton 1670-1749 once a fellow of King's College at Cambridge. Upton udated the work of 1623 making better use of the 'De Poetica' edition of the Dutch scholar Daniel Heinsius Leiden 1610/11 and 1643 and of the Aristotle edition of the German scholar Friedrich Sylburg who provided not only notes but also the Greek text for this edition Frankfurt 1584/87 volume 2. Upton added he tells in the preface also material he found in various authors among whom Samuel Petit's 'Leges Atticae' Paris 1635 and Daniel Heinsius' 'De tragoediae constitutione' Leiden 1611 and André Dacier's French translation of the Poetics Paris 1692. Upton also consulted Du Val's Aristotle edition Paris 1619 1639. He also revised Goulstons Latin translation § Theodor Goulston 1576-1632 studied in Oxford and was a medical doctor in London. His Poetics edition was reissued in 1696 1728 1731 1745 and 1780. In 1619 Goulston had already published in London 'Versio Latina et Paraphrasis in Aristotelis Rhetoricam' See his Wikipedia article Collation: Ad 1: 2 A-O8 P4 Q2.
