1836Bv1422<p>First edition of John S. Brewer's The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle with English Notes Oxford Henry Slater 1836. Distinguished primarily by its inclusion of extensive English notes and commentary designed to aid readers in understanding Aristotle's text Brewer's Nicomachean Ethics differs from many earlier and contemporary editions which often presented the Greek text alone or with minimal annotation. This editorial approach was particularly valuable in the 19th century as it made the work more accessible to those English-speaking students and scholars who lacked fluency in Ancient Greek. Brewer's edition was intended as a scholarly resource for students and readers seeking a deeper understanding of Aristotle's ethical philosophy. The notes serve both as a linguistic aid and as an introduction to Aristotelian thought making the edition particularly suitable for educational settings. The profound impact of the Nicomachean Ethics on Western intellectual history is undeniable. It served as a cornerstone of medieval philosophy and significantly influenced the subsequent development of modern philosophy European legal systems and theology. Aristotle's stature was such that he was frequently referred to simply as "the Philosopher." "If there is a philosophical Atlas who carries the whole of Western Civilization on his shoulders it it Aristotle. He has been opposed misinterpreted misrepresented and -- like an axiom -- used by his enemies in the very act of denying him. Whatever intellectual progress men have achieved rests on his achievements" Ayn Rand 1963. Text very fresh and clean. Octavo original calf elaborately gilt-decorated spine with raised bands. Some scattered foxing on opening and closing blank pages. PO's tiny bookplate and signature. Lightly penciled note on P.228 and back pastedown. A lovely near-fine copy handsomely bound.

178812834London: Printed for John Stockdale 1788 First edition of Pye's translation of Aristotle's Poetics. This translation was revised and corrected and appended to Pye's A Commentary Illustrating the Poetic of Aristotle 1792 a work which is "valuable in the history of aesthetics and literary theory for its sensible and pertinent applications of Aristotle's theory to English writers from Shakespeare to Sterne" John Valdimir Price. This first edition of his translation is far scarcer than Pye's Commentary…; ESTC lists only five copies in America. Slightly later full calf. Covers decoratively ruled in blind spine decoratively stamped in gilt with leather label. Marbled edges. . Small octavo. Engraved title-page. Errata slip pasted on last page of ads. Spine faded occasional foxing front hinge starting to crack. Overall a good clean copy.

He succeeded Thomas Warton as poet laureate in 1790 and held the office for twenty-three years dutifully producing yearly odes on the king's birthday and numerous patriotic pieces. Though his poetry is little read today his translations and commentary have endured more successfully. Printed for John Stockdale, hardcover
1559D11175Venice: apud Hieronymus Scotum Scotus 1559. Hardcover. Very Good. Folio 315 x 215mm. 2 137pp. 1. Signatures: A-Q4 R6. Woodcut profile bust of Aristotle on title with dedication Peripateticae Disciplina Principis Vera Aristotelis Stagiritae Effigies. Final leaf with woodcut printers device of Scotus classical muse atop star sphere with motto Fiat pax in virtute tua Let there be peace in your walls. Latin translation by Girolamo Bagolino of Verona c. 1470-1535 professor of philosophy at Padua. Text in double column. Italic and Roman type. 18th-century marbled boards modeled to resemble tree-calf; hole through opening leaves causing some text loss title with minor stains hinges starting p. 135 folded corner repaired clean tear in blank portion of last leaf. The clipped booklabel of Seminarium Mutinense pasted on the title fittingly connects this copy to the Jesuit Seminary library in Modena in the Provincia Veneta which was also a center for study popularly called a Collegium. Sixteenth-century editions of Philoponuss Aristotelian explanations have a major place in the commentarial tradition and philosophy of the Renaissance. <br/><br/>1559 Scotus edition of Philoponuss commentary on the De Generatione et Corruptione of Aristotle; a beautifully produced Venetian work still in good form. John Philoponus also known as John the Grammarian was a Byzantine-era Aristotelian commentator and author of several philosophical treatises. The first Latin translation of Philoponuss commentary on Aristotles treatise De Generatione et Corruptione seems to be the one made by Hieronymus Bagolinus from the Aldine edition of 1527 first published in Venice by Hieronymus Scotus in 1540; the second made by Andrea Silviuis was published by Valgrisius in 1564. This is Scotuss fourth edition of 1559 in which he states errors of the first and the second edition are purged thus repeating the title found in the third. It precedes a fifth and final edition of 1568. Philoponus presents his commentary as notes taken from the seminars of Procluss student Ammonius c. 435-526 AD together with certain remarks of my own; Philoponuss is an elaborate exposition of Aristotelian theory followed by several criticisms which are answered with sophistication. To history this commentary has always been received as a school work but it was an interesting book to early scholars for it was supposed to have been written before 529 terminus post quem - hence before Philoponuss writings became entrenched in Christianity and creationist views. Like most ancient commentaries this one maintains certain importance for the constitution of the text on which it comments. Scotuss publications were widely regarded as elegant productions; wide-format and designed with attractive typeface this refined style was typical on the Venetian marketplace at this time. apud Hieronymus Scotum (Scotus) hardcover books
